Hello, I set up rsyslog to send log messages to a remote server and show them locally on tty8:
*.* /dev/tty8 *.* :omrelp:spitzer:2514 This works just fine. However, the "spitzer" host is only available over VPN, so I am loosing all messages that are logged before the VPN is up. I wanted to fix this by using a queue: *.* /dev/tty8 $ActionQueueType LinkedList $ActionResumeRetryCount -1 $WorkDirectory /var/cache/rsyslog $ActionQueueFileName spitzer_queue *.* :omrelp:spitzer:2514 Now I am getting all the messages on spitzer, but also the boot process slows down to a crawl. Looking at tty8, I can see that while the first kernel log messages just rush by, at some point the messages appear very slowly, at maybe 1 message per second. I suspect that this is what slows down the booting. Also, according to lsof, the rsyslog process does not seem to open any file in /var/cache/rsyslog, even though it has the right permissions. When starting rsyslog, the only messages that I get are: Jul 20 10:05:46 athena rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="2517" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] (re)start Jul 20 10:05:46 athena rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 103 Jul 20 10:05:46 athena rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 101 What am I doing wrong?
