Compatibility notes for rsyslog v3

Written by + Rainer + Gerhards (2007-12-17)

Rsyslog aims to be a drop-in replacement for sysklogd. However, version 3 has +some considerable enhancements, which lead to some backward compatibility issues +both in regard to sysklogd and rsyslog v1 and v2.

Rsyslog v3 is currently under initial development. Compatibility issues may +be resolved, so be sure to check back often. Also, comments and suggestions are +appreciated. Feedback right in time can now have a big impact on the route we +take ;)

-m command line option

The -m command line option is ignored for the time being. There is no default +mark period. If you need a 20 minute mark period you need to

$ModLoad immark # wherever this is
+$MarkMessageInterval 1800 # 20 minutes

klogd

klogd has (finally) been replaced by a loadable input module. To enable klogd +functionality, do

$ModLoad imklog

A limited set of klogd command line settings is now supported via +rsyslog.conf. That set of configuration directives is to be expanded. So far, we +support:

$klogSymbolsTwice [on/off]
+$DebugPrintKernelSymbols [on/off] # spits *a lot* of messages at startup
