Do you have any log output from rsyslog itself saying what it failed to start exactly?
It looks like this behavior started as of: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/commit/9ff2ebb26e6ac6b2a98bde2aa855374d9a115b6a, which first appears in v7.5.5. Prior to that, it does not appear any checking on the input file was performed during configuration file processing. Since I am new to rsyslog, I defer to those who know it much better than I. -peter On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 1:30 AM, Esmq <e...@163.com> wrote: > config: > $InputFileName /home/project/talk/webservice/usinfo/logs/apache-access.log > $InputFileTag cgilog-usinfo > $InputFileStateFile imfile-cgilog-usinfo.statfile > $InputFileSeverity debug > $InputFileFacility local7 > $InputRunFileMonitor > $InputFilePollInterval 3 > > > directory /home/project/talk/webservice/usinfo/logs/ does not exists. > > > no imjournal ... > /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -v > rsyslogd 8.4.2, compiled with: > FEATURE_REGEXP: Yes > GSSAPI Kerberos 5 support: Yes > FEATURE_DEBUG (debug build, slow code): No > 32bit Atomic operations supported: Yes > 64bit Atomic operations supported: Yes > memory allocator: system default > Runtime Instrumentation (slow code): No > uuid support: Yes > Number of Bits in RainerScript integers: 64 > > See http://www.rsyslog.com for more information. > > > > > At 2015-12-07 14:19:01, "Peter Portante" <peter.a.porta...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 1:17 AM, Esmq <e...@163.com> wrote: > > > >> test rsyslog v8 on debian 7 x64 bit , also works fine when imfile with > >> file that no exists. > >> > >> > >> i suppose systemd/journalctl on debian 8 imcompatible with rsyslog ~ > >> > > > >Can you share your configuration?
