Rainer,

With all due respect, is fifteen (15) seconds from instance of event to
logfile write "pushing the envelope" for rsyslog? I've been doing this a
long, long time on just about every *NIX under the sun & this kind of delay
- out of the box - is truly remarkable to me.

NOTE: The sftp logging customizations were added last week. These
unacceptable delays precede this by many months, since rebuilding this
system to Centos 7 last year.
