I’m trying to use the rsyslog cookbook through the opscode platform
but it doesn’t seem to be downloading all of it’s templates. I’m
guessing the server determines what templates to send down by running
the recipes, however in this case the template directory is in a
conditional statement so it seems like it may be getting masked. If
this is the case how can I explicitly tell chef that this template
should be transfered even if the conditional may not succeed or how
can I make the conditional succeed on the server.

It does not. It is aware of the templates in the directory, though.

Place the template in your 'cookbooks/rsyslog/templates/default/'
folder, and it will be available to all platforms. I believe that
particular template conditional stops a non-compatible rsyslog
template from being installed (on older than Jaunty Jackalope Ubuntu
systems)

Gotcha, works much better now.
Thanks

Hello!
Are you using Ubuntu 10.10?
The cookbook has 10.04 and 9.10, but not 10.10 specific directories. Please open a ticket in the COOK project and we'll get a template 10.10 added.

Thanks!

Yes I'm on 10.10, but I actually added the template myself and changed
the code to just automatically pull the right template according to
the os rather than requiring the cookbook to be modified.
Though I believe I remember something about the process for me to
submit those changes back you guys involves me getting the CEO/Lawyers
to sign something right?

The template can go in the 'ubuntu' directory in cookbooks/rsyslog/templates/ubuntu, e.g.

You are free to open a ticket pointing out the issue, that doesn't require signing anything.
However, if you want to contribute the change via a patch to the Opscode cookbooks repo, we need to have a contributor license agreement (CLA) on file. Whether that involves CEO/Lawyers depends on your company policies.
