Hello,
I'm working on a project where 20 servers RHEL 5.8 (with rsyslog 5.8.12)
has 20 input files on input and send about 10.000 messages for second to
one rsyslog server 7.2 version
The network is gigabit between client-->server and this is the daily
nmon network traffic graphs
The first configuration was with queue file, but is was too slow, so
I've used the LinkedList queue.
The current client settings are
$InputFileName /file1.log
$InputFileTag TEST1
$InputFileStateFile file1
$InputFileSeverity debug
$InputFileFacility local6
$InputRunFileMonitor
$InputFilePersistStateInterval 10
....

My questions are:
1)how to find the right combination of
Main queue ---> Action Queue---> receiver queue on rsyslog server ?
2)Is it possible to increase incoming messages and handle quickly?
3)Why the output log on Centralized Rsyslog are still behind the source
log on the client?
I've activated the pstats module to understand the queue status on
clients and server.
After 6 hours running the client has this report

4)Why on the client enqueued value never decrease and full= is always
different of 0?
I'm planning to distribute the 20 client to 2 process of rsyslog server
on different port on the same server but I think your help about the
right combination of action queue on client and main queue on server.
On rsyslog documentation I've found a lot of info about to handle input
queue (# thread, max messages and DequeuBatch) but I dont' know how to
rsyslog should better work on receiver server.
I've seen that the rsyslog 7.2 process on server use only one CPU each
time, while the server has 4CPU and 12GB ram on 64bit O.S.
5)Some option during configuration process can change this behavior ?
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rsyslog7 --enable-gnutls
--enable-imfile --enable-omruleset --enable-imptcp --enable-mmnormalize
--enable-usertools --enable-imdiag --enable-diagtools --enable-impstats
Regards,
Roberto.
