The logger command can let you do this.
but the best way to do this is to use impstats to log info about how many
messages each input has processed.
I like to have my sending machines set to generate at least one message/min, so
that I am guaranteed to have messages from each system and can alert if the
messages stop.
I also use the dyn_stats to generate per-server stats to ease this sort of
alerting.

Subject: [rsyslog] Monitoring (Nagios) on Rsyslog server TCP port
Hi,
We're having the issue that sometimes, the rsyslog server stops working
(properly), and all remote clients start hanging when their queues are full.
I'm improving the latter, but I need to be able to detect that rsyslog is still
accepting log messages, preferably with our monitoring server (Nagios).
Is there an easy way to just run a CLI command and post a message to the
rsyslog server? Or any other (easy) way? I can't seem to find much.
Regards,
Wiebe Cazemier
