## === When you're using remote logging, enable on-disk queues ===  
## === in rsyslog.d/remote.conf.                               ===
##
## Note, that when the MYSQL, PGSQL, GSSAPI, GnuTLS or SNMP modules
## (provided in separate rsyslog-module-* packages) are enabled, the
## configuration can't be used on a system with /usr on a remote
## filesystem, except on newer systems where initrd mounts /usr.
## [The modules are linked against libraries installed bellow of
##  /usr thus also installed in /usr/lib*/rsyslog because of this.]

# ######### Enable On-Disk queues for remote logging ##########
#
# An on-disk queue is created for this action. If the remote host is
# down, messages are spooled to disk and sent when it is up again.
#
#$WorkDirectory RSYSLOG_SPOOL_DIR # where to place spool files
#$ActionQueueFileName uniqName # unique name prefix for spool files
#$ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g   # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible)
#$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save messages to disk on shutdown
#$ActionQueueType LinkedList   # run asynchronously
#$ActionResumeRetryCount -1    # infinite retries if host is down

# ######### Sending Messages to Remote Hosts ########## 

# Remote Logging using TCP for reliable delivery
# remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional
#*.* @@remote-host

# Remote Logging using UDP
# remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional
#*.* @remote-host
