RPM-PLUGIN-SYSLOG(8) System Manager's Manual RPM-PLUGIN-SYSLOG(8)
rpm-plugin-syslog - Syslog plugin for the RPM Package Manager
The plugin writes basic information about rpm(8) transactions to
the syslog - like transactions run and packages installed or
removed.
%__transaction_syslog_target
Specify target output for the plugin. Supported values are:
• syslog: system log (default)
• stderr: standard error
See rpm-plugins(8) on how to control plugins in general.
The plugin uses rpm as its syslog identity.
The package level output during transactions is as follows:
OPERATION NEVRA [(from: RELNEVRA)]: STATUS
OPERATION is one of:
• cleanup: cleanup of the previous version in upgrade or
downgrade
• downgrade: downgrade an installed package to an older version
• erase: erase package from the system
• install: install a new package on the system
• replace: replace (obsolete) a previously installed package
with another one
• restore: restore permissions and similar on an installed
package
• upgrade: upgrade an installed package to a newer version
NEVRA identifies the transaction element being operated on. Note
that operations downgrade, replace and upgrade consist of two
elements: install of one package version and removal of another.
In these cases, the related element identifier RELNEVRA is
indicated in parentheses after from:. STATUS is one of success or
failure.
journalctl -t rpm
Inspect RPM transaction history on a systemd-based OS.
Package aaa upgrade from 1.2-1 to 2.0-1
