Unfortunately the manual is not very helpful here. See http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/rsyslog_conf_global.html quick check brings up that $ActionResumeRetryCount $ACtionREsumeInterval Is relevant > > > From what you wrote, I think your use case would probably better be > served by > > omprog, but I may be wrong.
