[rsyslog] rsyslog 4.5.x queue file cleanup?

[Marc Schiffbauer]

Hello all,

I am running a rsyslog server version 4.5.2

I tested the message queuing capabilities recently and noticed that queue 
files do not get cleaned up. Evertime rsyslog has to spool something (e.g. 
when the database server ist stopped) it creates new spoolfiles so the spool 
area will grow over time.

Is this a bug or how can I handle those old queue files?

This is the relevant part from my config:

# enable message spooling
$WorkDirectory /data/syslog-spool # default location for work (spool) files
$ActionQueueType LinkedList       # use asynchronous processing
$ActionQueueFileName dbq          # set file name, also enables disk mode
$ActionResumeRetryCount -1        # infinite retries on insert failure


TIA
