persistStateAfterSubmission¶

Persists state file information after each batch submission for robustness.

This parameter applies to imfile: Text File Input Module.

Name:: persistStateAfterSubmission
Scope:: input
Type:: boolean
Default:: off
Required?:: no
Introduced:: 8.2006.0

Description¶

When switched on, imfile persists state file information after a batch of messages has been submitted. This enhances robustness against unclean shutdowns, but may cause frequent state file writes and degrade performance, depending on overall rsyslog configuration.

Input usage¶

input(type="imfile" persistStateAfterSubmission="on")

Notes¶

Legacy documentation used the term binary for the type. It is treated as boolean.
