Hi, I am trying to include rsyslogd in a snap (container) of an application, which is pulling rsyslogd from ubuntu core 18. The problem I am running into is that this changes the location of rsyslog, and even though I am setting $ModDir in my config file, rsyslog is still trying to load a module from the default path (which doesn't exist) and failing! Shouldn't $ModDir tell rsyslog where to find its modules???
The rsyslog.conf file starts with: $ModDir /path/to/snap/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rsyslog/ But when I run: /path/to/snap/usr/sbin/rsyslogd -d -f /tmp/rsyslog.conf I get the following output: 5230.637921111:main thread : rsyslogd.c: rsyslogd 8.32.0 startup, module path '', cwd:/home/admin 5230.638616091:main thread : glbl.c: rsyslog/glbl: using '127.0.0.1' as localhost IP 5230.639070718:main thread : obj.c: caller requested object 'net', not found (iRet -3003) 5230.639421215:main thread : modules.c: Requested to load module 'lmnet' 5230.639735667:main thread : modules.c: loading module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rsyslog/lmnet.so' 5230.640130977:main thread : errmsg.c: Called LogMsg, msg: could not load module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rsyslog/lmnet.so', dlopen: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rsyslog/lmnet.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory rsyslog internal message (3,-2066): could not load module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rsyslog/lmnet.so', dlopen: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rsyslog/lmnet.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [v8.32.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2066 ] Error during class init for object 'conf' - failing... rsyslogd initializiation failed - global classes could not be initialized. Did you do a "make install"? Suggested action: run rsyslogd with -d -n options to see what exactly fails. rsyslogd: run failed with error -2066 (see rsyslog.h or try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2066 to learn what that number means) Any ideas how to get around this (without rebuilding rsyslogd from source?) -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list https://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
