QA:Testcase rsyslog

Description

This test case tests if system logging is available, enabled by default and working as expected.

Setup

1. Ensure that rsyslog packages is installed.

How to test

1. Switch to root user: su -
2. Check if rsyslog service is running and enabled at boot: systemctl status rsyslog.service
3. Check if rsyslog service is logging (tail can be replaced with less in the following):
   1. tail /var/log/messages
   2. tail /var/log/secure

Expected Results

1. rsyslog must be running and active at boot, the output of systemctl should be like:

   # systemctl status rsyslog.service
   rsyslog.service - System Logging Service
   	  Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service)
   	  Active: active (running) since Thu, 23 Jun 2011 08:12:31 +0100; 23min ago
   	 Process: 576 ExecStartPre=/bin/systemctl stop systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   	Main PID: 613 (rsyslogd)
   	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/rsyslog.service
   		  └ 613 /sbin/rsyslogd -n -c 5
   
   

2. Log files should not be empty.
3. The last entries in logs should correspond to the current date and time.
