Optional variables

Those variables have a default value that you can change if needed.

Variable Description Default value Example
rsyslog_syslog_exception list of filter to exclude from /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages None [ 'local7.none' ]
rsyslog_additional_log list of additional logs to configure None see bellow

Example of rsyslog_additional_log, this is a dictionnary:

rsyslog_additional_log:
  - rule: "local7.*"
    file: "/var/log/samba/audit.log"

This will be translated to:

local7.*		/var/log/samba/audit.log
