Thanks Rainer and Yury for the responses. I was looking at another option for this message loss issue. I see that rsyslog supports systemd socket activation for the imuxsock module where-in systemd spawns the socket and hands over the fd to imuxsock. In the case of an rsyslog restart, the socket is still available and hence no messages are lost.
rsyslogd: imuxsock: Acquired UNIX socket '/run/systemd/journal/syslog' (fd 3) from systemd. [v8.1901.0] Can this be extended to the imudp module? We could have systemd create the UDP socket too and pass the fd to imudp like imuxsock. I do understand that the socket parameters in this case are user-defined. -- Sent from: http://rsyslog-users.1305293.n2.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list https://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
