Hi all, as I feared, clarifying queue operations took time. A full day of doc work, I hope it is worth it - but I am positive it is, because good understanding of this topic is vital to seriously discuss all the other issues that base on these concepts.
When I look at the resulting document, it doesn't look like it took a whole day. Finding a good analogy was not easy, but with the help of Tom Bergfeld and a long discussion we came up with one that I like more and more. It is based on road junctions in everyday life and surprisingly precisely describes how things work in rsyslog and why they work in that way. Still, a lot of subtleties are missing (another day or three of work), but the overall picture should be clear(er). So please give it a try: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-queues_analogy.html Even though I will probably disappointed in that case, please let me know if the document does not work for you (aka "you have no idea what I intend to say"). Otherwise, I cannot improve it. So honest feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Rainer _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
