<h1>sysklogd compatibility</h1>
|
|
<p>This is a part of the rsyslog.conf documentation.</p>
|
|
<a href="rsyslog_conf.html">Back to rsyslog.conf manual</a>
|
|
<p>Rsyslog supports standard sysklogd's configuration file format
|
|
and extends it. So in general, you can take a "normal" syslog.conf and
|
|
use it together with rsyslogd. It will understand everything. However,
|
|
to use most of rsyslogd's unique features, you need to add extended
|
|
configuration directives.</p>
|
|
<p>Rsyslogd supports the classical, selector-based rule lines.
|
|
They are still at the heart of it and all actions are initiated via
|
|
rule lines.
|
|
However, there are ample new directives, either in rsyslog traditional
|
|
format (starting with a dollar sign) or in RainerScript format. These
|
|
work together with sysklogd statements. A few select statements are
|
|
no longer supported and may generate error messages. They are mentioned
|
|
in the compatibility notes.
