Hello,

Say you have a config like the following:

*.* @@192.168.1.2:1514
$ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended on
& /var/log/localbuffer
$ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended off
...

How do you deal with 192.168.1.2 accepting a connection but stalling it? I.e. in our case 192.168.1.2 is a Logstash instance, with Elasticsearch as backend. If Elasticsearch is not available, Logstash stalls the incoming connections (here rsyslog) using TCP zero window.

This does not seem to trigger the failover action and thus not fail over to /var/log/localbuffer as configured.

I'm not exactly sure what happened but this seems to have been the reason why the machine running rsyslog came to a grinding halt and several of its processes stopped responding.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Marki
