in rsyslog, batches don't wait to be filled. the algorithm is designed for low-latency, in that each time a batch is processed, it takes from 1-batchsize messages (how ever many are available) and processes them.

so if you only have one message arrive per minute, each message will be processed individually. You have to have messages arriving faster than they can be individually processed before the batches will contain more than one message.

Subject: [rsyslog] omelasticsearch: send every N seconds even if bulk not       
full?

Hi,

omelasticseearch has options like:

      queue.type="linkedlist"
      queue.size="5000"
      queue.dequeuebatchsize="300"
      action.resumeretrycount="-1")


What happens when the volume of logs is very low.  For example, imagine a
log file where a new log event shows up only once a minute.

Looking at
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/omelasticsearch.html
I don't see a mention of "timeout" or "send every N seconds even if the
specified bulk size has not been reached yet".

Is there an option for that?

Thanks,
Otis
