Install rsyslog on RHEL/CENTOS
The Adiscon RPM Repository supports recent rsyslog versions for RHEL/CentOS 6 and 7 including third party packages.
To install rsyslog on RHEL/CentOS, simply execute the following commands as root from the commandline:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ wget http://rpms.adiscon.com/v8-stable/rsyslog.repo yum install rsyslog
Problems during the installation
Some users experiencing problems at the installation because of a incorrect resolution variable. So please try this first. Open the repofile and replace the variable "$releasever" in the third line through your operating system. Below you can find a example for RHEL7.
The line should looks like this before:
baseurl=http://rpms.adiscon.com/v8-stable/epel-$releasever/$basearch
After the change the line should look like this:
baseurl=http://rpms.adiscon.com/v8-stable/epel-7/$basearch
