Thanks David and Rainer for your replies.

David,

>>On the one hand, yes, it seems that rsyslog could decide to abandon the
data itself, on the other hand, how do you know that the user (or some cron
process) isn't going to free up enough space to allow it to shutdown
properly?

I agree with this but if <QueueType>QueueMaxDiskSpace is set, rsyslog
should know that MaxDiskSpace is set and reached and it won't be able to
write any further messages on the disk so it should drop them.

Rainer,

>>Maybe the OP could create a PoC which I would just need to amend with
config settings?

I couldn't understand your implication here, can you please elaborate it?

Thanks,
Deepesh
