Available states

.. contents:: :local:

syslog_ng ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Installs and configures the syslog_ng package.

syslog_ng.package ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Installs the syslog_ng package and optional packages which may provide additional functionalities.

syslog_ng.config ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This state manages the file syslog_ng.conf under /etc/syslog-ng (template found in "syslog_ng/files"). The configuration is populated by values in "syslog_ng/map.jinja" based on the package's default values (and RedHat, Debian, Suse and Arch family distribution specific values), which can then be overridden by values of the same name in pillar.

syslog_ng.service ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Manages the startup and running state of the syslog_ng service.

Testing

Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt.

Requirements ^^^^^^^^^^^^

• Ruby
• Docker

.. code-block:: bash

$ gem install bundler $ bundle install $ bin/kitchen test [platform]

Where [platform] is the platform name defined in kitchen.yml, e.g. debian-9-2019-2-py3.

bin/kitchen converge ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Creates the docker instance and runs the syslog_ng main state, ready for testing.

bin/kitchen verify ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.

bin/kitchen destroy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Removes the docker instance.

bin/kitchen test ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. destroy + converge + verify + destroy.

bin/kitchen login ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
