Description

The title says it all:

Let say i have:

  • a Server
  • a node linked to the server and based on Centos5
  • a relay

/etc/syslog.conf looks like this:

local6.notice     @server

If i switch my node to be under the relay, the syslog conf will chenge to:

local6.notice     @server
local6.notice     @relay

Making the node reporting bith to the server and the relay, having 2 reports at the end on the Server

We should change the deletion condition in promises.cf (ligne 768):

some ideas:

  • Replacing both delete lines by: "^local6(\..*)?\s+(?!${syslogd}).*" (more complex but more like we want to achieve
  • Delete all lines stating by local6

In both cases keep the adding line

This can be impreved by only editing a section of the file between two tags (so we don't delete other local6 attempts)
