Good morning/afternoon!
I’m looking to implement some rate limiting due to an especially chatty set of 
vSphere hosts. First there is nothing I can do on the vmware side, so I’ve been 
exploring the rate limiting options in Rsyslog and so far what looks the best 
in my case is setting the action.execOnlyEveryNthTime.  The problem is, going 
by the rsyslog.com docs I’m unsure of how to actually employ it.

If I have a ruleset like:

ruleset(name="r_vmhost"){
    action(type="omfile" Dynafile="d_vmhost")
}

Should the parameter with within the action ()’s like:

ruleset(name="r_vmhost"){
    action(type="omfile" Dynafile="d_vmhost" execOnlyEveryNthTime=”5”)
}

I did look at setting a global rate limiting within rsyslog.conf however I’d 
rather apply this to a specific ruleset or maybe a couple but not everything.

Thanks!
