I am sending data to elasticsearch via rsyslog. I have been successful in that. But from yesterday, rsyslog is going down. There was no problem in elasticsearch server, but rsyslog went down a couple of times,

I used rsyslog because it is light and fast, but even this is getting a large OOM score which I did not expect. What is the possible reason ? How can I avoid it ? -- View this message in context: http://rsyslog-users.1305293.n2.nabble.com/rsyslog-going-down-frequently-tp7592527.html Sent from the rsyslog-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
