actualy it will, you see 256 is the max batch size, rsyslog will grab
_up_to_ 256 messages for the batch, so if you incrament per message
you will seldom be incrimenting by 256 (unless your system is always
running behind)
but if I am understanding things correctly, putting set $/counter =
$/counter +1; in your config will end up incrimenting counter by 1 per
batch, not by the number of messages in the batch, with the race
condition that two different threads may end up racing and ending up
with $/counter only going up by 1 when it should go up by 2.
No, unfortunately, you are wrong twice.
First, at loaded server you will get full batches from time to time.
And, then, next batch will probably get to the same destination action.
This will lead to avalanche overload.
If we, by chance, get a partial batch, it will be good for load
balancing, as it brings some randomization.
Second, globals are incremented once per message, not per batch.
