This is not exactly what you asked for, but depending on which thing you're trying to stress-test, you may also want to consider replay-log: https://github.com/thrig/sial.org-scripts/blob/master/logging/replay-log which will let you replay existing logfiles (preserving time delays between logs) at 1x or faster speed. If you're just focusing on rsyslog itself (and not including the networking stack of the OS as well), you can replay-log an existing logfile to a new one, then read that with rsyslog imfile. (And of course you can then use the same input file for repeated tests.) - Dave _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
