Hello,
Thank You all for the answers. For now I have resolved the problem by
adding:
$WorkDirectory /var/log/queue
$MainMsgQueueType LinkedList
$MainMsgQueueFileName Main
$MainMsgQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g
$MainMsgQueueSaveOnShutdown on
Now I would also like to add
$MainQueueTimeoutEnqueue 0
but pages
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-rsyslog_conf_global.html
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-queues.html
give contradictory meaning for value 0. Does this setting mean indefinite or
immediate timeout?
Best,
Oleg
