Hi all, I worked today on the capability to obtain debug information from a running instance. Unfortunately, a small code change was needed to make it work well. If you cannot upgrade or apply the patch, I can create instructions to do it even without the patch, but that is a rather inconvenient way of doing thigs.
The patch is here, it should apply to all recent v4 and v5 builds: http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=commitdiff;h=2b5e15d549940c7ace9017ea f40d523e3741c9a2 I have also updated the documentation of the debug system and hope that it is much more usable this time. It specifically explains how to work with this new type of on-demand debugging. Details are online: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-debug.html If that capability is useful, I could extend it in some ways. Most importantly, the current version does NOT permit to send debug logs to another remote instance. However, I tried to do as few changes as possible in an effort to help our current debugging efforts. Any new functionality will probably be v5-exclusive. I hope this is a useful new feature. So far, it is available via the git heads only, but I'll see that I release as soon as it makes sense (I don't like to release just for this mini-feature...).
