Assuming that the sec process ID is 4216 as in the above process list, 
just send this process the USR1 signal:

kill -USR1 4216

This will produce /tmp/sec.dump dump file which contains a lot of info 
about sec internals, including the lines which have been read from inputs.

If you are not seeing any input delivered to sec, make sure there are no 
~ destinations used in rsyslog conf file. For example, the following 
statements

*.* ~
*.* /var/log/all.log

will not write anything to /var/log/all.log, since *.* ~ discards all 
messages without considering any further statements.
