Add Lumberjack2 Rolling Support

[MixMuffins]

Currently working on this over in a public forked branch, since I need to build a module for it anyway.. I'm following Jordan's lumberjack2-hack setup for the moment. Would love input/feedback. :3

[MixMuffins]

Can see progress here; this has not yet been tested. Working on that right now.

Whoops! Never updated this: This has been tested and is successfully running in my work environment currently. :) Requires some changes to the makefile (changing the name of the executable and .sh files to lumberjack2 and lumberjack2.sh respectively) as well as changing the install path to whatever location you desire if it isn't /opt/lumberjack

Perhaps we should split this out to focus on specific features included in the newest LJ. Ex. starting with the multiple server list and the paths/fields hashing. Might make tackling the changes easier :)

[MixMuffins]

So far as I know, the newest lumberjack features are integrated into this.

The multiple server list and paths/fields hashing currently works. I actually am running the puppet module with the newest lumberjack release that Jordan has put out in my environment currently without any problem. :3 The only thing that isn't set up is multi-instance lumberjack, which I would like to add at some point.

I'll have a look at this once i start working at Elasticsearch so i have more time for the puppet modules.
There are allot of things i want to modify to this module because i haven't spent as much time to it as i would like.

Is there any plan to update this to support logstash-forwarder, or anything to add?

The various forks seem to be quite buggy too

Hi there Mike!

Just gonna respond via email;
If I do any major work on my fork, it won't be until mid-June; I've got a
bit of a full plate due to some family stuff going on plus upcoming last
semester of college.
Since this is the first I've heard real interest in continued work on the
fork, I'll see if I can't start working on it little by little to at least
get some updated code for you (or even electrical) to go off of.
I'm not sure about Electrical, but hopefully he's got a better timeline
than I do.

Best of luck to you, and I'll keep you posted.
Happy holidays to you both!

Sincerely,

MixMuffins

Hi guys,

After the new year i'll be starting on the puppet module for the logstash forwarder.
