<h2>$FileCreateMode</h2>
Type: global configuration directive
Default: 0644
Description:
The $FileCreateMode directive allows to specify the creation mode with which rsyslogd creates new files. If not specified, the value 0644 is used (which retains backward-compatibility with earlier releases). The value given must always be a 4-digit octal number, with the initial digit being zero.
Please note that the actual permission depend on rsyslogd's process umask. If in doubt, use "$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 $FileCreateMode directive. Order of lines is vitally important.
Sample:
<code>$FileCreateMode 0600</code>
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:
<code>$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</code>
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.
