Package: rsyslog Version: 4.6.4-1 Severity: normal Trying to get back old --MARK-- behaviour, I am pointed by README.Debian to the v3compat document, which advertises:
> $ModLoad immark > $MarkMessageInterval 1800 # 30 minutes If I just load the module, things seem to work. If however I try to tune the interval (eg. to force more frequent marks to be sure that it works), I get the following error in the log. Diving into the doc to find the doc for immark, I notice the module page does not have a link for that module. Only by grepping the doc can I finally find out that the option name is indeed $MarkMessagePeriod and not $MarkMessageInterval. Either v3compat doc is wrong, or a change was done later (but v4compat does not mention it). At least v3compat doc has to be updated.
