Hi David, Thanks for the quick response. I was able to download the documentation for my version and confirm that rate limiting is off by default. I'm still not sure what the difference is between "SysSock.RateLimit.Interval" and "RateLimit.Interval" but they both default to 0 so I'm good. The reason for my confusion was this paragraph in the docs: "The default of 0 has been chosen as people experienced problems with this feature activated by default. Now it needs an explicit opt-in by setting this parameter." The way I read that indicated to me that the default used to be non-zero at some point in the past.

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. David Lang On Fri, 1 Sep 2023, Kent Oyer via rsyslog wrote: 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 (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. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list https://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
