``profile::log_client``
=======================
This module manages the local logging-related configuration.
It can make the journal permanent, enable or disable legacy configuration files
(e.g. ``/var/log/messages``), and configure log forwarding.
Parameters
----------
============================ ======== ==================================================
**Name** **Type** **Default**
---------------------------- -------- --------------------------------------------------
forward_to list hiera('log_client::forward_to', [])
legacy_logs bool hiera('log_client::legacy_logs')
persistent_journal bool hiera('log_client::persistent_journal')
journal_system_keep_free string hiera('log_client::journal_system_keep_free')
journal_system_max_file_size string hiera('log_client::journal_system_max_file_size')
journal_system_max_use string hiera('log_client::journal_system_max_use')
============================ ======== ==================================================
``journal_system_keep_free``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How much space `systemd-journald(8) <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.html>`_ should keep free for non-journal
use in ``/var/log``. In addition to the syntax described in
`journald.conf(5) <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journald.conf.html#SystemMaxUse=>`_ (bytes or use K, M, G, T, P, E as units) we also support percentages, ie ``'25%'`` means that
the journal will leave at least 25% of ``/var/log`` for other uses.
Note that for the use of a percentage limit ``/var/log`` must be an separate partition, else absolute values need to be set.
``journal_system_max_file_size``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The maximum size of individual journal files.
``journal_system_max_use``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The maximum amount of space that the journal is allowed to use. In addition to
the syntax described in `journald.conf(5) <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journald.conf.html#SystemMaxUse=>`_ (bytes or use K, M, G, T, P, E as units) we also support percentages,
ie ``'50%'`` means that the journal can use at most 50% of ``/var/log``.
Note that for the use of a percentage limit ``/var/log`` must be an separate partition, else absolute values need to be set.
``forward_to``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An array of FQDNs, possibly prefixed with ``@`` for enabling TCP and followed by
a port number. Log messages are forwarded to all entries in this list.
``legacy_logs``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A boolean controlling whether the legacy log files (``/var/log/messages`` etc)
should be created (true) or not (false).
``persistent_journal``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A boolean controlling whether the journal should be persistent (true) or not
(false).
Examples
--------
This profile is included in the base role. To customize the log_client in a
role, do this::
class role::some_role () {
class {'role::base':
include_log_client => false,
...
}
class {'profile::log_client':
legacy_logs => false,
persistent_journal => true,
}
In Hiera, configure forwarding to ``log1`` using UDP on port 1514 and to
``log2`` using TCP (on port 514)::
log_client::forward_to:
- 'log1.psi.ch:1514'
- '@log2.psi.ch'
