In queues doc - https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/concepts/queues.html, it says
"There are multiple action queues, one for each configured action. By default, these queues operate in direct (non-queueing) mode" May be, when doc says "Failover will *not* work when you define queues on the actions". It actually means - "when you define non-direct queues on the actions" (As Direct queues on actions are fine for failover - Since return status is passed back to the producer in case of direct queue. ) Is my understanding correct?
