Hello everyone,We're migrating our LDAP servers to new RHEL 7. Previously we had RHEL 5.2 and Openldap logging was working just fine with the following config using syslog.· Set up OpenLDAP logging:
o (as root user) mkdir /var/log/openldap
o (as root user) chmod 755 /var/log/openldap
o (as root user) touch /var/log/openldap/openldap.log
o (as root user) vi /etc/syslog.conf
§ Add the line “Local6.* /var/log/openldap/openldap.log”
o (as root user) kill –HUP <process ID of syslogd> The new servers have rsyslog instead of syslog and I did the same procedures in rsyslog.conf file, set olcloglevel as sync stats same as in the old server and restarted rsyslog with systemctl restart rsyslog.service .The openldap.log file is empty. I have tried local4 too and same result. My rsyslog.conf file looks like this . Can someone please help me with this? Any help is appreciated. # rsyslog v5 configuration file # For more information see /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-*/rsyslog_conf.html# If you experience problems, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/troubleshoot.html #### MODULES #### $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command)$ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd)$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability # Provides UDP syslog reception$ModLoad imudp$UDPServerRun 514 # Provides TCP syslog reception$ModLoad imtcp$InputTCPServerRun 514
