Bug Description
I've noticed this for a long time but never looked into it. My logs have a bunch of entries of the form:
rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 10' suspended, next retry is Mon Jan 29 04:08:13 2018 [v8.16.0 try http://
This is caused by these lines in /etc/rsyslog.
# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility. To use it,
# you must invoke `xconsole' with the `-file' option:
#
# $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...]
#
# NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if you have a reasonably
# busy site..

/dev/xconsole is not setup by default in Ubuntu. Commenting out the above and restarting rsyslog resolves the issue.
This issue was reported to Debian:
https:/
and they disabled xconsole configuration by default in 8.14.0-2, however subsequent Ubuntu merges left the configuration in debian/
