Package: rsyslog Version: 8.2102.0-2 Severity: important Tags: patch upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: petr.gajdu...@egston.com
Dear Maintainer, By default, imuxscock should rate limit messages with severity 1 and lower. Related default options are useSpecialParser="true" and ratelimit.severity="1". However, messages are not rate limited due to a bug in code: When `useSpecialParser` is set to "true" (the default setting) all messages are erroneously treated as having severity 0 and therefore are not subjected to the rate limiting which by default does not affect messages with severity 0. Debian 11 and unstable is also affected. Rate limiting works after changing imuxsock options to ratelimit.severity="0" or useSpecialParser="false". e.g. module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.RateLimit.Severity="0") I have already filled an issue upstream [1] and a pull request [2]. I am filling this to Debian as well as I would like to see this fixed or at least be informed about this e.g. by apt-listbugs 1: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/4667 2: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/4666 Thank you for your work, Best regards, Petr
