Use this documentation with care! It describes
the heavily outdated version 5, which was actively
developed around 2010 and is considered dead by the
rsyslog team for many years now.
This documentation reflects the latest update of the
previously existing (now removed) v5-stable branch. It describes the 5.10.2 version, which was never
released. As such, it contains some content that
does not apply to any released version.
To obtain the doc that properly matches your installed
v5 version, obtain the doc set from your distro. Each
version of rsyslog contained the version that exactly
matches it.
As general advise, it is strongly suggested to
upgrade to the current version supported by the rsyslog
project. The current version can always be found on
the right-hand side info box on the rsyslog web site.
Note that there is no rsyslog community support available
for this heavily outdated version. If you need to stick
with it, please ask your distribution for support.
$ActionResumeInterval¶
Type: global configuration directive
Default: 30
Description:
Sets the ActionResumeInterval for all following actions. The interval provided is always in seconds. Thus, multiply by 60 if you need minutes and 3,600 if you need hours (not recommended).
When an action is suspended (e.g. destination can not be connected), the action is resumed for the configured interval. Thereafter, it is retried. If multiple retires fail, the interval is automatically extended. This is to prevent excessive ressource use for retires. After each 10 retries, the interval is extended by itself. To be precise, the actual interval is (numRetries / 10 + 1) * $ActionResumeInterval. so after the 10th try, it by default is 60 and after the 100th try it is 330.
Sample:
$ActionResumeInterval 30
