[rsyslog] rsyslogd not reconnecting when using tcp or omrelp transports

[Thomas Mieslinger]

Hi,

I've setup rsyslog on CentOS 5.3 (rsyslog-3.21.3-4) on two machines. One 
machine (logsender) has:

$ModLoad omrelp.so
$WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog
$ActionQueueType LinkedList
$ActionQueueFileName srvrfwd
$ActionResumeRetryCount -1
$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on

user.* :omrelp:loghost:2514
or
user.* @@loghost:1514

and the other machine (loghost)
has

$ModLoad imrelp.so
$UDPServerRun 514
$InputTCPServerRun 1514
$InputRELPServerRun 2514

*.* -/some/logfile

If I restart rsyslog on loghost without restarting rsyslog on logsender, 
the logs produced on logsender never appear on loghost. Is this working 
as designed?

Is there a kind of syslog.debug facility where I can monitor the 
reconnect activity of rsyslog?

Thanks in advance Thomas
