Rsyslog 1.18.0 has been released today. It offers a major new feature, to the best of our knowledge unseen in any other syslog server. Backup log destinations can now be configured. For example, rsyslog can be instructed to forward messages to a set of secondary log hosts or database servers if the primary one fails. When the primary is back online, messages are automatically been sent to it again. Backup actions do not necessarily need to be the same as the primary one. So one could also configure forwarding messages and writing them to a log file if the receiver cannot be reached. Other than that, there were a number of bug fixes and some code cleanup. Version 1.18.0 is a recommended update for all users.
