Installing rsyslog from RPM

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in Basic Configuration, Guides for rsyslogTagged , , , , ,

We want to describe here, how to install rsyslog from the RPM repository on RHEL/CentOS 5 and 6. Currently, we have RPMs available for the most recent versions of rsyslog.

To use the repository, please follow these steps.

1. Obtain the .repo file

To be able to use the RPM repository, you need a .repo file. Using your webbrowser, go to http://rpms.adiscon.com. Here, either download the rsyslogall.repo file or go to the subfolder for the desired version (e.g. v7-stable) and download the rsyslog.repo file from there.

2. Placing the file in the correct location

You now need to place the downloaded file in the correct folder. The .repo file must be placed in

/etc/yum.repos.d/

3. Finding updates

You should now do a “yum update”. The update for rsyslog will be detected automatically. Note, that the file rsyslogall.repo contains the repository configuration for each available branch, whereas the rsyslog.repo only provides repository configuration for the selected branch.

A note on signed RPM’s

On RHEL/CentOS 5 it is not possible to check for signed RPM’s. This is due to a bug in the RPM/YUM subsystem. So, Please DO NOT USE gpgcheck=1! If you however couldn’t resist trying it, and your system stucks with “Header V3 RSA/SHA1 signature: BAD, key ID e00b8985″, follow these steps:

  1. Set gpgcheck in your rsyslog.repo file back to 0.
  2. Run this command to remove the gpg key from your system: rpm –erase gpg-pubkey-e00b8985-512dde96
