After configuring an rsyslog queue file for a TCP rule, no spool files are created

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • A TCP forwarding rule with a queue file ("$WorkDirectory", "$ActionQueueFileName", etc) attached to it was added to rsyslog.conf and after rsyslog was restarted, the log entries are showing up on the remote server; however, no spool files were created in the configured spool directory. Is this normal?
