ansible-papertrail

Installs and configures remote_syslog for export to PaperTrail.

Configuration

Package

The default settings will install remote_syslog version 0.19.

remote_syslog_package_url: https://github.com/papertrail/remote_syslog2/releases/download/v0.19/remote-syslog2_0.19_amd64.deb
remote_syslog_package_shasum: fd98bb5daf599c6f167edcb65a1861b007a16a61691dfc4796bfe2dddae8813f

To override, you'll first need to create a checksum for the package.

$ wget https://github.com/papertrail/remote_syslog2/releases/download/v0.19-beta3/remote-syslog2_0.19-beta3_amd64.deb
$ sha256sum remote-syslog2_0.19-beta3_amd64.deb

Then set your new values.

remote_syslog_package_url: https://github.com/papertrail/remote_syslog2/releases/download/v0.19-beta3/remote-syslog2_0.19-beta3_amd64.deb
remote_syslog_package_shasum: d05bb14a12d2ffe83edffc2b18ad73478a9fd0ec09e9a53b392a17b1c4196570
