Does rsyslog provide a method to report problems over SNMP?
Issue
rsyslog
in previous versions of RHEL provides the/usr/share/doc/rsyslog-*/omsnmp.html
file, but doesn't actually provide the module required to run this with. The following errors are seen in/var/log/messages
:
2010-06-02T14:09:14.845613+02:00 testserver3 rsyslogd-2066: could not load module '/usr/lib64/rsyslog/omsnmp.so', dlopen: /usr/lib64/rsyslog/omsnmp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [try [http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2066](http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2066) ]
- On RHEL 7, the errors are:
Dec 30 10:05:51 hostname rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="7.4.7" x-pid="11070" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] exiting on signal 15.
Dec 30 10:05:51 hostname rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="7.4.7" x-pid="8765" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] start

- Is there a way to monitor via snmp monitoring when:
- rsyslog daemon is not running
- rsyslog is encountering some drop messages
