I've been playing with the imfile plugin and one of our logs (rotated daily) exceeds 2G within a couple of hours of rotation.
If I restart rsyslog once the file is over 2G logging on the file stops.
I then ran rsyslog with -d and found this error:

6143.135744971:imuxsock.c: --------imuxsock calling select, active file descriptors (max 14): 14 6143.135772746:imfile.c:
strm 0x9049140: open error 27, file '/var/log/myapp.log'

The log is then ignored until it is rotated.
I can work around this by rotating the log prior to restarting so this is not a show stopper for me but it would be nice if imfile worked on large files by default

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

I thought this was explicitly handled. Looks like a bug. I assume you use a 32 bit platform?

correct, 32 bit.
