This is a slightly questionable change.
Typical behavior of any module is that if it is loaded but doesn't
actually do anything, a warning message is emitted to prevent mistakes in
configuration. I think I have a use case for the imuxsock module to be
loaded but inactive.
A generalized rationale goes like this: there might be additional conf
files in /etc/rsyslog.d that just tune some parameters. If the module is
enabled, they are desirable, but when it is disabled, they can be ignored.
The real scenario is this: systemd provides a separate conf file that
specifies where to look for the log socket. If the imuxsock module is to be
disabled, it can be done through the '$OmitLocalLogging' directive. At that
point the module is needed to parse the conf file but it does not do any
real work.
Given an explicit directive is needed, it can be assumed that this state
is intended and no warning is necessary.
sounds reasonable, but I would appreciate if also some other list members
could comment.
In any case, I'll probably merge not into 7.4 but 7.5 (the next devel
version).
