linux - Rsyslogs new configuration format for input files -

i'm configuring centralized logging rsyslog.
have specify input-file kind of wildcard can't find examples of how working, in description of official documentation here link exact description seems broken.
try log tomcat7-logfiles localhost_access_log.2015-07-15.txt.
date in file updates every day.

what want kind of input(type="imfile" ...)

i tried with:

input(type="imfile" tag="access_log" statefile="tomcat-access-log"        file="/var/log/tomcat7/localhost_access_log.*.txt") 

but not working , don't i'm doing wrong.

here full code:

$modload imfile $privdroptogroup adm $workdirectory /var/spool/rsyslog  # catalina.log $inputfilename /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.log $inputfiletag catalina-log $inputfilestatefile stat-catalina-log $inputfileseverity info $inputrunfilemonitor  # localhost_access_log.yyyy.mm.dd.txt input(type="imfile" tag="access_log" statefile="tomcat-access-log" file="/var/log/tomcat7/localhost_access_log.*.txt") 

the catalina-logs working supposed to, i'm not getting access-logs in output.

any appreciated, please remind me if i'm doing wrong or if there better way this.

it work of rsyslog v8.5 or newer (not 7) , when using inotify see here presentation explaing requirements. forced inotify (although default) with:

module(load="imfile"      mode="inotify" ) 

the input defined this:

input(type="imfile"      file="/file/path/*.log"      tag="taskproject:"      facility="local3" ) 

after this, should working
