Installs and configures the syslog_ng package.

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

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.

Manages the startup and running state of the syslog_ng service.

Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt.

  • Ruby
  • Docker
$ 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.

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

Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.

Removes the docker instance.

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

Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
