This module requires functions provided by the Example42 Puppi module (you need it even if you don't use and install Puppi)
For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules check the DOCS directory on Example42 main modules set.
-
Install rsyslog with default settings
class { 'rsyslog': }
-
Install a specific version of rsyslog package
class { 'rsyslog': version => '1.0.1', }
-
Disable rsyslog service.
class { 'rsyslog': disable => true }
-
Remove rsyslog package
class { 'rsyslog': absent => true }
-
Enable auditing without without making changes on existing rsyslog configuration files
class { 'rsyslog': audit_only => true }
-
Use custom sources for main config file
class { 'rsyslog': source => [ "puppet:///modules/example42/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/example42/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf" ], }
-
Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir
class { 'rsyslog': source_dir => 'puppet:///modules/example42/rsyslog/conf/', source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir }
-
Use custom template for main config file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.
class { 'rsyslog': template => 'example42/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf.erb', }
-
Manage directly the content of the main config file. Note that template has precedence over content.
class { 'rsyslog': content => inline_template( file( "$settings::modulepath/example42/templates/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf.erb-${hostname}", "$settings::modulepath/example42/templates/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf.erb" ) ), }
-
Automatically include a custom subclass
class { 'rsyslog': my_class => 'example42::my_rsyslog', }
-
Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default)
class { 'rsyslog': puppi => true, }
-
Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands
class { 'rsyslog': puppi => true, puppi_helper => 'myhelper', }
-
Activate automatic monitoring (recommended, but disabled by default). This option requires the usage of Example42 monitor and relevant monitor tools modules
class { 'rsyslog': monitor => true, monitor_tool => [ 'nagios' , 'monit' , 'munin' ], }
-
Activate automatic firewalling. This option requires the usage of Example42 firewall and relevant firewall tools modules
class { 'rsyslog': firewall => true, firewall_tool => 'iptables', firewall_src => '10.42.0.0/24', firewall_dst => $ipaddress_eth0, }
