Hi Yuri, David, all Is there any document which comments on the future support of outchannel feature? If not, will there be any new comment on support of this feature in the upcoming document?
The statement "Outchannels are a to-be-removed feature of rsyslog, at least as far as the config syntax is concerned. Nevertheless, v6 still supports it, but a new syntax is required for the action" in https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/compatibility/v6compatibility.html creates ambiguity on the support as of today. Thanks, Vivek On 23/11/21, 3:25 PM, "rsyslog on behalf of David Lang via rsyslog" <[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]> wrote: time/size rotation, and then the ability to call an external script to do something with the rotated file after rsyslog knows it's done writing to it (better than logrotate that only knows it sent a signal to an app, doesn't know if the app has processed the signal yet). I would even let the fine count limit be done in the script, but I could see arguments for doing it in omfile. actually, time based actions may be better done as a core item. There are also requests for time based rebind across all the different modules, so that may belong more core rather than each module reinventing the wheel in slightly different ways.
