Thank you Rainer, I finally got the opportunity to get back to this task.
I was able to get the error to cease and desist from being presented in the "*systemctl status rsyslog*" output. However, I have a question as I was expecting to observe a change but, I do not see the change in Group Ownership of the files. *How do I associate the directive ($FileGroupNum 2000) with the log file itself?* In the case this wasn't obvious to you in the rsyslog.debug (because I didn't have all that much time to review it myself), I have to generate multiple log files based on the sources of the datafeeds (based on facility.severity) into: 1) a separate directory, and 2) the same file name it would have been locally on the source-server. So, I am using Conditionals, such as these: if ($fromhost-ip startswith ‘172.20.245.5’ or $fromhost-ip contains ‘172.20.245.101’) then { authpriv.* -?SECU *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none -?MESG & stop } else if ( $fromhost contains ‘i42tskvm’ ) then { *.* -?MESG stop } else { *.* /var/log/messages stop } I established the templates (variables) with the following syntax: $template CATC,”/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%.log” $template SECU,”/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%/secure” $template MESG,”/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%/messages” Please, let me know if I need to establish a new email thread for this independently. -------------------------- Warron French On Sat, Jun 1, 2024 at 7:18 AM Rainer Gerhards <rgerha...@hq.adiscon.com> wrote: > I have looked into the log.
