NAME Test::Rsyslog - Creates a temporary instance of rsyslog to run tests against VERSION Version 0.07 SYNOPSIS my $rsyslog = Test::Rsyslog->new(); Sys::Syslog::setlogsock({ type => 'unix', path => $rsyslog->socket_path() }); # or "Sys::Syslog::setlogsock('unix', $rsyslog->socket_path());" for older Sys::Syslogs Sys::Syslog::openlog('program[' . $$ . ']','cons','LOG_LOCAL7'); Sys::Syslog::syslog('info|LOG_LOCAL7','This is a test message'); Sys::Syslog::closelog(); ok($rsyslog->find('This is a test message'), 'Rsyslog is okay'); DESCRIPTION This module allows easy creation and tear down of a rsyslog instance. When the variable goes out of scope, the rsyslog instance is torn down and the file system objects it relies on are removed. SUBROUTINES/METHODS new This method will setup and start the rsyslog instance. It currently has no parameters, but this may change in response to feature requests socket_path This method returns that path to the UNIX file system socket that is connected to the current running instance of rsyslog find($string) This method searches the existing logs that rsyslog has processed to see if a message has been found matching $string. It will return a list of every line in the log file that matches $string. start This method starts the rsyslog instance stop This method stops the rsyslog instance alive This method checks to make sure that the rsyslogd instance is still running messages This method returns the content of the rsyslogd log file scrub This method truncates the rsyslogd log file. Rsyslogd must be stopped to truncate the log file DIAGNOSTICS Failed to open %s for reading There has been a file system error trying to read from the rsyslog logfile. Failed to print to %s There has been a file system error trying to write to the rsyslog configuration file. Failed to fork The operating system was unable to fork a subprocess for use by the rsyslog daemon. Failed to rmdir %s There has been a file system error trying to remove the temporary directory. Failed to unlink %s There has been a file system error trying to unlink a temporary file Failed to close %s There has been a file system error trying to close a temporary file Failed to mkdir %s There has been a file system error trying to make the temporary directory Temporary rsyslog daemon is already running... The rsyslog daemon has already started Unable to truncate while rsyslogd is still running This module will not truncate the messages file while rsyslogd could still be writing to it Unable to untaint the directory path The module generated an unrecognisable temporary path for rsyslogd CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT Test::Rsyslog requires no configuration files or environment variables. DEPENDENCIES Test::Rsyslog requires Perl 5.6 or better.
