Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] vdsm dependency rsyslog?
well as I already elaborated (with more detail in the BZ, though).
( Bug 1083100 - vdsm depends on rsyslog )
vdsm crashes if /dev/log is not there.
It should not crash if /dev/log is not available. Having syslog or /dev/log should be
optional.
the devs where a little inaccurate and added the dependency
for rsyslog, but the real dependency is on /dev/log, which is also
satisfied by e.g. syslog-ng.
I do not see that this is a standard nor rsyslog provides this.
so if someone wants to use syslog-ng on rhel maybe because it is
already used in other infrastructure you still have to install rsyslogd
for no use?
The problem is that we usually part software part integration, configuring other
components when we install ours, this creates tight coupling between what we can support.
However, in this case I do not see we try to configure rsyslog, so rsyslog should be
completely optional.
If we want integration type solution, the rsyslog or any other logger should be installed
and enabled using host-deploy.
