This is a known bug and 7.4.7 of v7-stable has been released to fix this, see http://www.rsyslog.com/changelog-for-7-4-7-v7-stable/ Config for testing: global( workDirectory="/tmp" ) module(load="imudp") module(load="omrelp") input(type="imudp" port="514" ) action(type="omrelp" target="localhost" port="2514" action.resumeRetryCount="-1" queue.saveonshutdown="on" queue.type="LinkedList" queue.filename="omrelp" queue.maxfilesize="100M" queue.maxdiskspace="1M" queue.checkpointinterval="100" queue.highwatermark="10" ) Then just log more than 1MB of messages to UDP to see that it doesn't stop at 1MB but just continues forever.
