Setup is quite simple: - An application sending 5 log messages per second - A local rsyslogd server (8.1901) with the following simple setup:
$WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog module(load="imuxsock") module(load="imudp") input(type="imudp" port="514") *.* action ( type="omfwd" queue.type="LinkedList" queue.filename="forwarding" queue.size="1000" queue.maxFileSize="8m" target="192.168.100.30" protocol="tcp" port="514" ) *.* /var/spool/rsyslog/test-file - A server that dumps to disk. If I disconnect the server, messages starts piling up, and after a while ends up on disk in the expected file (forwarding.00000001). Messages are continuously being logged to the test-file, so everything is working. On reconnect, the messages immediately starts flowing again. But the queue is not drained. Thousands of messages remain on disk on the client side. After an hour I restarted rsyslogd on the client side. On restart, the file with the queued messages was deleted., but not sent. Thus, all messages that were buffered were lost. A pointer to where I have erred in my setup would be very appreciated!
