Description

Rsyslog introduced a "rate limiting" feature in rsyslog 5.7.1 ( http://www.rsyslog.com/tag/rate-limiting/ )
So we can face log message like

imuxsock begins to drop messages from pid 30351 due to rate-limiting

along with incomplete reporting on the server.

A workaround ( ref http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rsyslog/users/8513 ) is to add the config

$SystemLogRateLimitInterval 0

However, this should be added only for version that support it (I guess 5.7.1, but I couldn't find where it was introduced)
