I have many RHEL 6 servers set up to use disk assisted queues to forward logs via tcp to a central server. This is working, but for several reasons, on a good many of the systems, I have several (on some over 8k) files stuck in the queue. Stopping/restarting the rsyslog daemon doesn't clear them out. I can dump the network traffic and see that new logs are being sent. I found a perl script at:
https://github.com/mcarpenter/rsyslog/blob/master/tools/recover_qi.pl that suggests it would rebuild the index file if missing. I thought maybe that is why these files aren't forwarding. So, I downloaded and attempted to use it. However, I am getting a "bareword" error on "value." It is pointing in the serialize subroutine to the "$x .= join" line. It says compilation aborted and points to the "use base qw(Rsyslog::Serialiazable):" in "package Rsyslog::OPB;" First, is recovering the index file the correct way to get these stuck files forwarded? Second, any idea why perl thinks "value" is a bareword? I'm using perl v5.10.1.
