failOnChOwnFailure¶

This option modifies behaviour of file creation.

This parameter applies to omfile: File Output Module.

Name:: failOnChOwnFailure
Scope:: action
Type:: boolean
Default:: action=on
Required?:: no
Introduced:: at least 5.x, possibly earlier

Description¶

This option modifies behaviour of file creation. If different owners or groups are specified for new files or directories and rsyslogd fails to set these new owners or groups, it will log an error and NOT write to the file in question if that option is set to “on”. If it is set to “off”, the error will be ignored and processing continues. Keep in mind, that the files in this case may be (in)accessible by people who should not have permission. The default is “on”.

Action usage¶

action(type="omfile" failOnChOwnFailure="...")

Notes¶

Legacy documentation referred to the type as binary; this maps to boolean.
