+<p><b>Configuration Graphs</b>
+<p>Starting with rsyslog 4.3.1, the
+&quot;<a href="rsconf1_generateconfiggraph.html">$GenerateConfigGraph</a>&quot;
+command is supported, a very valuable troubleshooting tool. It permits to
+generate a graph of how rsyslogd understood its configuration file. It is assumed that
+many configuration issues can easily be detected just by looking at the configuration graph.
+Full details of how to generate the graphs, and what to look for can be found in the
+&quot;<a href="rsconf1_generateconfiggraph.html">$GenerateConfigGraph</a>&quot;
+manual page.
