Argh, some config parsing seems to be wrong. There is a problem with the config file. The right config format is this: == $WorkDirectory /tmp/rsyslogwork $ActionQueueType LinkedList $ActionQueueFileName dqueue $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on $ActionQueueDiscardSeverity 7 $ActionResumeInterval 10

Mmm... So the 5,000 line file doesn't make it completely to the server? That's strange... With the larger file, I'd assume that there are some flow control issues, but with the small one... Maybe it is related to the other problem with the hostname. Kind of sounds like it looses sync some

Hi all, I got an interesting question from another discussion list. As you (hopefully) are aware, rsyslog supports high precision timestamps. However, the default format does not output them in order to avoid confusing log parsers. That, in turn, leads to few people actually ever using it. So in

In the long term (think tank!) it may be possible do some automagic with dynafiles. Let's say specify a timeout after which, when no longer accessed, some (external) rotation logic is invoked. The good thing, probably, would be that rsyslog knows best when it can and need to do so. It could even
