Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We want to log all messages to syslog, what should I add/change in rsyslog.conf config to avoid losing messages?

  • Why am I getting the below messages in my RHEL 7 server?

    Apr  7 11:50:35 localhost rsyslogd-2177: imjournal: begin to drop messages due to rate-limiting
    Apr  7 11:50:47 localhost rsyslogd-2177: imjournal: 406 messages lost due to rate-limiting
    Apr  7 12:00:38 localhost rsyslogd-2177: imjournal: begin to drop messages due to rate-limiting
    Apr  7 12:00:48 localhost rsyslogd-2177: imjournal: 391 messages lost due to rate-limiting
    Apr  7 12:19:21 localhost rsyslogd-2177: imjournal: begin to drop messages due to rate-limiting
