Ansible role 'ansible-role-syslogserver'

An Ansible role for setting up rsyslog on a central syslog server.

Requirements

This role should work for Debian- and RedHat-family distributions. Testing has only been done on CentOS7 though, but feel free to provide feedback regarding issues with your particular distribution (both if it works and if it doesn't) and I will try to update the role accordingly.

Role Variables

| Variable | Default | Comments (type) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | syslogserverPackage | rsyslog | rsyslog package name | | syslogserverService | rsyslog | rsyslog service name | | syslogserverListenPort | 514 | Port (TCP or UDP) rsyslog should listen to | | syslogserverRemoteLogsBasePath | /var/log | Base path where remote logs will be stored | | syslogserverUDP | false | Wether to listen for syslog messages over UDP.
