global() configuration object
The global configuration object permits to set global parameters.
Note that each parameter can only be set once and cannot be re-set
thereafter. If a parameter is set multiple times, the behaviour is
unpredictable.
The following paramters can be set:
- workDirectory
- dropMsgsWithMaliciousDNSPtrRecords
- localHostname
- preserveFQDN
- defaultNetstreamDriverCAFile
- defaultNetstreamDriverKeyFile
- defaultNetstreamDriver
- maxMessageSize
- processInternalMessages binary (on/off), v7.4.9+, 7.6.0+, 8.1.5+
This tell rsyslog if it shall process internal messages itself. This
is the default mode of operations ("on") and usually the best. However,
if this (instance) of rsyslog is not the main instance and there is
another main logging system, rsyslog internal messages will not be
inserted into the main instance's syslog stream. To do this, set
the parameter to "off", in which case rsyslog will send messages to
the system log sink (and if it is the only instance, receive them back
from there). This also works with systemd journal and will make
rsyslog messages show up in the systemd status control information.
