Hi,
I assume this comment was about the inotify part. I was looking just at
the docs. Not sure which version they are for. But I see a December 4th,
2013 comment for a 2008 issue in Bugzilla that makes me think inotify is
not being used.
Rainer has been working on imfile in the last few months. I don't know if
inotify is used or not.
I also saw a max of 100 files can be monitored without recompiling. That
feels like a serious limit. Is making that higher (1000?) or configurable
an option?
I think I saw a note from him about making that much higher, or having it
dynamically allocate things so there was no hard limit. I don't remember the
details though.
for older versions, you have to edit the source and recompile, but there's not a
hard limit on how large you can make it, it just eats a little more ram

I don't know what version you were looking at, but imfile has had a lot of
work done on it in recent 7.5 releases. Make sure you are looking at the
most recent code.

Hi,
I was reading about http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imfile.html trying to
understand how (well) it handles files being moved, replaced, and
truncated. (not 100% sure how file move/replace and truncation are
actually handled after reading the above page actually)
Then I wondered if inotify was being used or not, when I spotted a mention
of that. A search later I found
http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=30 . Nice...
Finally, I wondered if something similar to
http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#spooling-
directory-sourceexists?
Thanks,
Otis
