I am running rsyslog within docker containers to send UDP messages to logstash.
When I log into the docker container, and type:
service rsyslog status
shows:
rsyslogd is not running ... failed!
However, while I am in the container, if I type:
service rsyslog start
It starts up perfectly with no errors and no real sign of why it failed at the start
I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS FAILING!!!!
*The rsyslog conf file has not been modified except the Modules to allow for imfile. The rsyslog.conf is as follows:
# /etc/rsyslog.conf Configuration file for rsyslog.
