I have thought once again about which counters I could provide without
generating most of the plumbing. Probably the only one I can envision is the
number of message objects inside the system (assuming that number of queues
itself and such is of really no interest at all), or more precisely number of
messages generated and number of messages deleted. This does roughly reflect
the number of messages processed, but only if no async queues are used (they
require some message duplication). If this is considered useful, I could look
into that. It probably takes two to three days to get that going with some
minimal plumbing for the background writer (done in a clean way).
I could also output the main queue size, but once again be reminded that this
reflects only part of the picture (depending on config only a very small
part...).
Feedback appreciated.
I think that this would be useful to have. As it is, it's hard to tell if
rsyslog is queuing messages or not, this would give you a tool to use to
tell this.
