Hi,

1. how do I test if dns-cache is enabled in v6.3.6-devel (strace rsyslog
-c6... what to look for...?) ?
2. This is my current rsyslog.conf - comments are very welcome (any thing
that looks odd to you...?):

#LOAD MODULES
$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun 514

#SET LOGGING CONDITIONS
if $syslogseverity <= '6' then ?DYNmessages
if $syslogfacility-text == 'authpriv' then ?DYNsecure
if $syslogfacility-text == 'mail' then ?DYNmaillog
if $syslogfacility-text == 'cron' then ?DYNcron
if $syslogseverity-text == 'crit' then ?DYNspooler
if $syslogfacility-text == 'local7' then ?DYNboot
if $syslogfacility-text == 'local6' and $syslogseverity-text == 'WARNING'
then ?DYNtraps

3. A little off-topic - I have setup monthly logrotate:
/DIR_TO_LOGS/*/*
{
        rotate 36
        monthly
        missingok
        notifempty
#        delaycompress
#        compress
        create 2750 _rsyslog rme_it
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                service rsyslog restart >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
        endscript
}
3.a: is this looking at each logfiles fileage (and rotate when the fileage
is more than 1 month old) or does it rotate the files every 1st of the
month ?
3.b: we use SIS and think of dedublication (from NetAPP) instead of
compressing data during logrotate - any experience, recommendations ?
