NetworkNamespace¶

Sets the value for the networknamespace property.

This parameter applies to imtcp: TCP Syslog Input Module.

Name:: NetworkNamespace
Scope:: module, input
Type:: string (see Rsyslog Parameter String Constants)
Default:: input=none
Required?:: no
Introduced:: v8.2512

Description¶

Sets the network namespace for the listener.

If not set, the listener operates in the default (startup) network namespace.
The specified namespace must exist before rsyslogd starts (e.g., created via ip netns add <name>).
This feature requires rsyslog to be built with setns() support. An error will be logged if a namespace is configured but support is missing.
The underlying operating system must also support network namespaces.

Input usage¶

input(type="imtcp" port="514" NetworkNamespace="routing")
input(type="imtcp" port="514" NetworkNamespace="management")

module(load="imtcp" NetworkNamespace="routing")
input(type="imtcp" port="514")
input(type="imtcp" port="514" NetworkNamespace="management")
