Conversation
Starting from Ubuntu Noble a new AppArmor profile for RSyslogd is used which is enforced. This might cause some access permisson problems for some plugins like imfile in Syslog. On the other hand, if someone adds some custom rules and want to include some log files which are located in directories that are not covered with the current rules, they might need a way how to extend the AppArmor rules. This change makes this configuration possible.
Add documentation for the new syslog.custom_apparmor_rules property introduced in the previous commit, covering the README and example custom rules file.

Also played around with acceptance tests, but I am not sure if it makes sense for this small change: jorbaum@8dbffda |
