Hello, I am trying to find an easy way to monitor rsyslog forwarding failures. Is there a log that forward failure messages are written to?
I checked the debugging section and I can see a forward failure I simulated when I run syslog in debug mode: 4960.357840852:6ade3f983700: 172.16.252.1:514/udp 4960.357862435:6ade3f983700: sendto() error: 1 = Operation not permitted. 4960.357878638:6ade3f983700: error forwarding via udp, suspending http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/omfwd.html talks about maxErrorMessages and how omfwd will emit an error for forwarding errors. Where does it emit the error to? Its fed back to rsyslog's input message stream - does that show up anywhere? Or maybe I should be using impstats? I am using rsyslog version 5.8.6 (Ubuntu 12.04) Thanks!
