There should be documentation included with your distro, look for a -doc package.

The documentation is maintained in git, so you can clone the repo and go back to whatever version you want.

We do try to note what version a new feature is added in.

We try REALLY hard to not break existing configs, and even changes to default values get a lot of debate to make sure they won't break things, and rarely happen

The community only supports recent releases (although you can get a support contract with Adiscon for support of other versions)

I don't think there is any throttling by default in rsyslog (although I think journald/imjournald may have some)

Please post your full config (including included files, starting rsyslog with the -o /path/to/file option will create a combined file in /path/to/file showing how rsyslog sees all the configs together)

If you are doing any rate limiting, you should be using the action()/module()/input() syntax rather than the prior syntax of setting multiple $foo values then invoking things. The new syntax is much clearer as it does not depend on side effects of prior statements.

Hi there,
1. What is the difference between "SysSock.RateLimit.Interval" and 
"RateLimit.Interval" as mentioned on 
https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/imuxsock.html
2. I am running Debian 12 which comes with rsyslogd 8.2102.0. Where is the 
documentation for this version? I can only find documentation for the latest 
version (8.2308.0).
3. Specifically, I'm trying to find out what the default values are for the 
rate limiting parameters in version 8.2102.0. It seems that rate limiting used 
to be enabled by default but it was changed to disabled at some point.
