Rsyslog and selinux on Centos6

I was configuring a Centos6 box to receive syslog from remote hosts. I wanted that log to be written to a non-standard path: /data/syslog

On my first attempt, this failed with the following log in /var/log/messages:

Nov 26 11:26:24 localhost rsyslogd-3000: Could not open dynamic file '/data/syslog/10.10.1.252/2014-11/26/syslog.log' [state -3000] - discarding message [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/3000 ]

I then set the context of /data/syslog to match /var/log with:

Wayland on Fedora21 Live CD

Gnome does not use Wayland by default when the Live CD boots up. To use Wayland, do the following:

set a password on the user account e.g. open terminal and issue passwd
log out of Gnome
below the login prompt should be a small cog icon, click that and select Gnome on Wayland from the dropdown menu
login

Replace all occurrences of text block A with block B

visually select A "ay , visually select B "by then :s/<ctrl-r>a/<ctrl-r>b/g

Note: pasting in from register produces ^M and ^I in place of newlines and tabs. These need to be converted to \n and \t respectively.

Docker stats collection for collectd

This script can be used to feed collectd with cpu and memory usage statistics for running docker containers using the collectd exec plugin.

This script will report the used and cached memory as well as the user and system cpu usage by inspecting the appropriate cgroup stat file for each running container.

Usage

UPDATE: 2014/09/05

Looks like this is now fixed as of Docker v1.2.0

For the benefit of the interwebs I'm documenting this here as I've spent several hours pulling my hair out.
