You should also specify other options you usually give (like -c3 and whatever else). Any problems experienced are reported to stderr [aka "your screen" (if not redirected)]. +

Configuration Graphs +

Starting with rsyslog 4.3.1, the +"$GenerateConfigGraph" +command is supported, a very valuable troubleshooting tool. It permits to +generate a graph of how rsyslogd understood its configuration file. It is assumed that +many configuration issues can easily be detected just by looking at the configuration graph. +Full details of how to generate the graphs, and what to look for can be found in the +"$GenerateConfigGraph" +manual page.
