This module allows for various client and server configurations of rsyslog

Features:

* UDP, TCP and RELP protocol support

* outchannels and templates

* IPTables support for servers (requires the iptables type)

* Multiple servers can be deployed onto a node using various protocol/port specifications.

3 wrapper classes have been provided to support a sane 3-tier logging framework:

rsyslog::bottom

This class forwards all logs to $my_loghost over RELP.

rsyslog::middle

This class sets up a 3 servers

- udp/514

- tcp/10514

- relp/20514

The iptables rules are modified to accept appropriate traffic for each instance.

Logs are stored in /var/log/hosts/messages which is rotated to

/var/log/hosts/messages.1 upon reaching 50mb. This class also sets up log forwarding

of all logs to $my_loghost using the RELP protocol.

rsyslog::top

This class sets up a server which accepts RELP traffic on

port 20514. The server's iptables rules are modified to accept

appropriate TCP traffic and logs are stored in dynamically created

directories under /var/log/hosts according to the client's hostname

and the current date.

If needed, more flexible servers and clients can be created by using

the rsyslog::client and rsyslog::server definitions directly.
