Defined Type: syslogng::logpath

Defined in:
manifests/logpath.pp

Overview

Define: syslogng::logpath

Create a syslog-ng logpath configuration. This define takes care of installing a bundled logpath definition consisting of a filter, log and destination configuration for a given program or logpath.

Use these if you are happy with the bundled setups available for the fastest configuration possibility. If you need more flexibility you will probably want to start replacing some modules from the bundle with dedicated syslogng::source, syslogng::destination and other resources.

As long as you are happy to keep the default file logs in /var/log you should be able to add quite some logpaths before that while still benefiting from the defaults.

Parameters

ensure

create or remove logpath, may be present or absent. Default: present

conf_dir

configurations parent dir. Default: /etc/syslog-ng

Examples

Though this class is usually called through the create_resources api on the main syslogng class, you may still invoke it directly like so:

syslogng::logpath { 'syslog-ng':
  ensure => present,
}

Parameters:

  • ensure (Any) (defaults to: present)
  • conf_dir (Any) (defaults to: '/etc/syslog-ng')
