Hi David,

i will have a look at impstats, thanks. Regarding your question: I'm just doing 
a 'service rsyslog stop'. I'm not killing it...


I know that on some systems, doing this will send rsyslog a kill -15 signal, wait a few seconds, and if it hasn't stopped, will send a kill -9 signal.

If those 'few seconds' are not long enough for rsyslog to write the data out, the kill -9 signal forces it to abandon the logs.

try shutting it down with a simple kill <pidofrsyslog> and see how long it takes to shutdown (and if this longer shutdown saves the data)
