+$MarkMessagePeriod
+------------------
+
+**Type:** specific to immark input module
+
+**Default:** 1200 (20 minutes)
+
+**Description:**
+
+This specifies when mark messages are to be written to output modules.
+The time specified is in seconds. Specifying 0 is possible and disables
+mark messages. In that case, however, it is more efficient to NOT load
+the immark input module.
+
+So far, there is only one mark message process and any subsequent
+$MarkMessagePeriod overwrites the previous.
+
+**This parameter is only available after the immark input module has
+been loaded.**
+
+**Sample:**
+
+``$MarkMessagePeriod  600 # mark messages appear every 10 Minutes``
+
+**Available since:** rsyslog 3.0.0
