Ansible role 'ansible-role-syslogclient'

An Ansible role for setting up Rsyslog clients to send logs to a rsyslog server.

Requirements

The variables syslogserver* collides with my role oscpe262.rsyslogserver. This should usually not be an issue if they are changed on a global level. They shouldn't need adjustment very often though, and then usually just the port, and the port you'll probably want to change on both server and clients anyway.

Role Variables

Variable	Default	Comments (type)
syslogclientServer	localhost	server to send logs to
syslogserverListenPort	514	port the server listens on
syslogserverPackages	["rsyslog"]	list of packages to install
syslogserverService	rsyslog	service name

Dependencies
