Description printul77700 2016-01-07 15:41:29 UTC

Description of problem:
same as here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=963942

Hello,
I know this is an old discussion,but I just encountered same problem.
Could you tell me please if there is any way of sending those messages/files from spool to processing so they can get to receiver/consumer?
I expect to be an workaround that can make rsyslog read the spool, or I hope it exists.
The second question is do I neet to have the .qi file?Because in some of my problematic server there is the file but in some of them there is not
Thank you

There's a simple script called rsyslog-recover-qi.pl in the package that might be of some help.

Yes, you do.

The package you've filed the bug for won't get any more updates, hence I'm closing this bz.
