We don't have impstats on Solaris. It's a Linux thing.

No, pstats is not an OS thing, it's a rsyslog module that reports on the internal state of rsyslog.

Whoever is compiling the binary you are using may not be enabling it, but that just means that you need to get them to change or compile it yourself

From a rsyslog view what sort of acknowledgement should it receive to know
the destination servers are filling up?  The destinations run Logstash.

when you are delivering messages via TCP (as you are in this case), your only
indication is that the TCP buffers fill up, and the output then gets suspended.
But if all your logs run through the same flow, the logs showing that the output
is suspended are stuck behind the messages waiting to be delivered :-/


what I do is to define impstats to use a different ruleset (with it's own queue,
so it doesn't get stuck in the main queue)

something like:


module(load="impstats" interval="60" format="json" ruleset="high-p")
ruleset(name="high-p" queue.type="array" queue.size="1000"
queue.fileiname="high-p" queue.saveonshutdown="on" ){
     action(name="high-p-parse" type="mmnormalize"
rule=["version=2","rule=stats:%.:json%","rule=stats:%-:whitespace%%.:json%"])
     @destination;format
     /var/log/pstats
}

This will process your stats data to a file and (if not too busy) a remote
system so that you can then alert on queues filling up
