• Bug#488880: rsyslog: please allow disabling of Debian standard log file

    From Josip Rodin@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 28 08:10:02 2024
    Hi,

    I noticed recently on some older machines how my /var/log/ was getting
    spammed by duplicate messages, and was very happy to see that newer machines aren't suffering from it, because of the cleanups in the global rules done
    a couple of years back, https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rsyslog/-/commits/debian/master/debian/rsyslog.conf?ref_type=heads
    This helps alleviate some of the concerns from the older comments in this
    bug report.

    The general issue remains - should the default rsyslog config be split up
    into .d/ files. The general trend has been in favor of doing this, because
    it should ease customization by users. Are we worried that there are some dependencies on the files created by the default rules?

    TIA.
