This is perhaps the one thing I understand the least, and I'm looking forward to your changes. For now, is the best practice for this to put each queue inside a separate file, put the ActionQueue directives at the top and put every rule that forwards to that host within the same file? Like /etc/rsyslog.conf: # Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/ $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/fwd-host1.conf: $WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog/fwd-host1 $ActionQueueFileName fwdHost1 $ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on $ActionQueueType LinkedList $ActionResumeRetryCount -1 if this and that then @@remoteHost1:514 if more and yetmore then @@remoteHost1:514 if trimore then @@remoteHost1:514 /etc/rsyslog.d/fwd-host2.conf: $WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog/fwd-host2 $ActionQueueFileName fwdHost2 $ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on $ActionQueueType LinkedList $ActionResumeRetryCount -1 if one and another then @@remoteHost2:514 Will that work making it easy to maintain a single queue for each remote host? -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/
