A live list of bugs is contained in our bugzilla. <b> <font color="#FF0000">Please visit </font><a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/bugs"> <font color="#FF0000">http://www.rsyslog.com/bugs</font></a></b> to see what we have. There, you can also open your own bug report if you think you found one.</p> <p>This list has last been updated on 2008-02-12 by <a href="http://www.adiscon.com/en/people/rainer-gerhards.php">Rainer Gerhards</a>.</p> <h1>rsyslogd</h1> <h2>EQUALLY-NAMED TEMPLATES</h2> <p>If multiple templates with the SAME name are created, all but the first definition is IGNORED. So you can NOT (yet) replace a template definition. I also strongly doubt I will ever support this, because it does not make an awful lot of sense (after all, why not use two template names...).</p> <h2>WALLMSG FORMAT (* selector) </h2> <p>This format is actually not 100% compatible with stock syslogd - the date is missing. Will be fixed soon and can also be fixed just via the proper template. Anyone up for this? ;)</p> <h2>MULTIPLE INSTANCES</h2> <p>If multiple instances are running on a single machine, the one with the -r switch must start first. Also, UDP-based syslog forwarding between the instances does not work. Use TCP instead.</p> </body> </html>
