rsyslog is notifying its users of a potential misconfiguration source. The notifications are new, as we’ve all noticed, and probably should not be displayed for internally defined queues which should never be misconfigured.
It is because a user can cause issues with optimal queue processing on user defined queues, by unintentionally specifying watermark values that don’t make sense, that the warning was implemented. It is one of the things that comes with using publicly maintained software. The configuration warnings are just that, warnings. They do not affect the configuration or operation of the software, and they do not invalidate the other log entries that rsyslog might write to its own log file. > On Jun 8, 2025, at 22:43, Mike via rsyslog <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is rsyslog intentionally foisting this issue upon its users? _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list https://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
