RPM package missing mmpstrucdata.so

[iprashantjain]

Expected behavior

RPM package should have mmpstrucdata.so installed on /usr/lib64/rsyslog/mmpstrucdata.so in CentOS 7.5

Actual behavior

After installation of the rpm package 'rsyslog-8.24.0-57.el7_9.x86_64', the library is not found.

[root@test ~]# rpm -ql rsyslog-8.24.0-57.el7_9.x86_64 | grep mmpstrucdata | wc -l
0

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Install the package 'rsyslog' using 'yum install rsyslog' on CentOS 7.5
• Create a configuration file loading the module 'mmpstrucdata'

module(load="mmpstrucdata")

• Restart rsyslog

service rsyslog restart

• In logs, rsyslog will throw errors

@friedl I guess this is something we could easily enable. What do you say?

The OS distributed rsyslog package does not contain mmpstrucdata.

If you want to use this module, please install the latest rsyslog release package from Adiscon. This contains the module.
