Description

Currently, the database name and the user name (rudder and rudder) are set in rudder-web.properties and rsyslog.d/rudder.conf. The rsyslog file is templated and the name and user are hardcoded in the source template, which makes it impossible to use different values.

This is a stopblocker when one wants to run several Rudder instance on the same database server, for example for dev and test.

A possible workaround is to edit /var/rudder/configuration-repository/techniques/system/distributePolicy/1.0/rudder-rsyslog-root.st on the root server and set the right values. This will be overwritten during each update though.

We will add two system variables: RUDDER_REPORTS_DB_NAME and RUDDER_REPORTS_DB_USER

The solution is to give database name and user as technique parameters, and use them in corresponding system technique.

I'm going to use that ticket for the rudder update.

Some more thinking: we already get contextual information for that script, see:

:msg, ereregex, "R: @@[ a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+?@@[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]{1,64}?@@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+@@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+?@@[0-9]+?@@.*?@@.*?@@[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}[+-][0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}##[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+?@#.*"  :ompgsql:${install_rsyslogd.rudder_postgres_server},rudder,rudder,${p.psql_password[2]};RudderReportsFormat

Shouldn't we pass the DB name/login in the same way ?
Or ok, perhaps we want to have something different for password, but the server URL is almost the same thing as the DB name.

We are targeting 3.1 because 2.11 is EOL in 15 days, so if somebody want that, he just need to use a supported version.
