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
