Hello,

Can you please help us to validate how we can change the options to save all the log in the server? we see the next info in the syslog status:

service syslog status
Jun 11 08:29:01 mail3.correopremium.com rsyslogd[470843]: imjournal: journal files changed, reloading...  [v8.1911.0-6.el8 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/0 ]
Jun 11 08:29:01 mail3.correopremium.com rsyslogd[470843]: imjournal: journal files changed, reloading...  [v8.1911.0-6.el8 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/0 ]
Jun 11 08:32:30 mail3.correopremium.com rsyslogd[470843]: imjournal from <mail3:dovecot>: begin to drop messages due to rate-limiting
Jun 11 08:37:43 mail3.correopremium.com rsyslogd[470843]: imjournal: 20998 messages lost due to rate-limiting (20000 allowed within 600 seconds)
Jun 11 08:42:33 mail3.correopremium.com rsyslogd[470843]: imjournal from <mail3:dovecot>: begin to drop messages due to rate-limiting

Re: Issue with rate limiting in the logs

- Is this a very busy mail server? 20000 log lines in 600 seconds?
- You can disable rate limit in /etc/rsyslog.conf:

# Disable rate limit.
$imjournalRatelimitInterval 0
$imjournalRatelimitBurst 0

Thanks, but we dont see that variables in the file /etc/rsyslog.conf

we see the next lines:
#### MODULES ####

module(load="imuxsock"    # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command)
       SysSock.Use="off") # Turn off message reception via local log socket;
                          # local messages are retrieved through imjournal now.
module(load="imjournal"             # provides access to the systemd journal
       StateFile="imjournal.state") # File to store the position in the journal
#module(load="imklog") # reads kernel messages (the same are read from journald)
#module(load="immark") # provides --MARK-- message capability

Thanks for any help
