Issue loading imdocker inpute module

[darakian]

Expected behavior

Module loads and I get docker logs

Actual behavior

# systemctl status rsyslog
● rsyslog.service - System Logging Service

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Add centos 7 rsyslog repo as described here
https://www.rsyslog.com/rhelcentos-rpms/

add the line module(load="imdocker") to /etc/rsyslog.conf.
and reboot rsyslog

Environment

• rsyslog version: 8.1910.0
• platform: Centos 7

I've looked through the repository files and the imdocker docs (https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/imdocker.html) but it's unclear how to get the module to load.

[rgerhards]

you need to install the package before you can use it, e.g dnf install rsyslog-imdocker. That said, I do not even know if this module is packaged.

I don't see rsyslog-imdocker available for centos here
http://rpms.adiscon.com/v8-stable/epel-7/x86_64/RPMS/
nor here
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rgerhards/CentOS_7/x86_64/
Is it just not being built maybe?

Is it just not being built maybe?

yeah, that's what I suspect. I'll try to see if I can get it build on OBS - but may take a short while.

Thanks and no rush on this from my end. I'm mostly exploring logging options at the moment :)

Tried to use repo but still no luck rsyslog-imdocker is not available.
