RsyslogConf - file /etc/rsyslog.conf

The rsyslog configuration files can include statements with two different line based formats along with snippets of ‘RainerScript’ that can span multiple lines.

See http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/configuration/basic_structure.html#statement-types

Due to high parsing complexity, this parser presents a simple line-based view of the file that meets the needs of the current rules.

Example

>>> content = '''
... :fromhost-ip, regex, "10.0.0.[0-9]" /tmp/my_syslog.log
... $ModLoad imtcp
... $InputTCPServerRun 10514"
... '''.strip()
>>> from insights.tests import context_wrap
>>> rsl = RsyslogConf(context_wrap(content))
>>> len(rsl)
3
>>> len(list(rsl))
3
>>> any('imtcp' in n for n in rsl)
True
