MainMsgQueueTimeoutShutdown

Sets the main message queue shutdown timeout at config load time.

This parameter applies to imdiag: Diagnostic instrumentation.

Name:

MainMsgQueueTimeoutShutdown

Scope:

module

Type:

integer (milliseconds)

Default:

10000

Required?:

no

Introduced:

8.x

Description

Sets globals.mainQ.iMainMsgQtoQShutdown — the time rsyslog waits for the main message queue to drain during an orderly shutdown — at config-load time. The testbench uses this to establish a safe default without relying on legacy $MainMsgQueueTimeoutShutdown directives, which are not available in YAML-only mode.

The value can be overridden per-test by setting the RSTB_GLOBAL_QUEUE_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT environment variable before calling generate_conf, or by writing a $MainMsgQueueTimeoutShutdown directive in the test’s RainerScript configuration fragment (legacy directives apply after module params and therefore take precedence).

Module usage

module(load="imdiag" mainMsgQueueTimeoutShutdown="10000")

YAML usage

testbench_modules:
  - load: "../plugins/imdiag/.libs/imdiag"
    mainmsgqueuetimeoutshutdown: "10000"
