rsyslog how can i compress all messages with templates

  • 772

Aside from storing log messages to specific files, I am trying to also compress them for archiving purposes. Logrotate will just rotate plain files.

The way I tried to solve this is by adding a template for each file. For example:

$OMFileZipLevel 6.  
$template. MAILLOG,"/archive/%$YEAR%/%$MONTH%/%$DAY%/maillog.gz". 
$OMFileZipLevel 6
$template MESSAGES,"/archive/%$YEAR%/%$MONTH%/%$DAY%/messages.gz".

*.emerg                   /var/logs/messages
& -?MESSAGES

local3.*                  /var/log/maillog
& -?MAILLOG

That works fine, however if I have twenty different files I will have to create 20 different templates and add the $OMFileZipLevel 3. prior to each template.

Is there any other way to achieve these without repeating $OMFileZipLevel 3. and by using a single template?

rsyslog
