$FileCreateMode
---------------
**Type:** global configuration parameter
**Default:** 0644
**Description:**
The $FileCreateMode parameter allows to specify the creation mode with
which rsyslogd creates new files. If not specified, the value 0644 is
used (which retains backward-compatibility with earlier releases). The
value given must always be a 4-digit octal number, with the initial
digit being zero.
Please note that the actual permission depend on rsyslogd's process
umask. If in doubt, use "$umask 0000" right at the beginning of the
configuration file to remove any restrictions.
$FileCreateMode may be specified multiple times. If so, it specifies the
creation mode for all selector lines that follow until the next
$FileCreateMode parameter. Order of lines is vitally important.
**Sample:**
``$FileCreateMode 0600``
This sample lets rsyslog create files with read and write access only
for the users it runs under.
The following sample is deemed to be a complete rsyslog.conf::
$umask 0000 # make sure nothing interferes with the following definitions
*.* /var/log/file-with-0644-default
$FileCreateMode 0600
*.* /var/log/file-with-0600
$FileCreateMode 0644
*.* /var/log/file-with-0644
As you can see, open modes depend on position in the config file. Note
the first line, which is created with the hardcoded default creation
mode.
