RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.
