`rsyslog.conf configuration directive <rsyslog_conf_global.html>`_
$RulesetCreateMainQueue
-----------------------
**Type:** ruleset-specific configuration directive
**Parameter Values:** boolean (on/off, yes/no)
**Available since:** 5.3.5+
**Default:** off
**Description:**
Rulesets may use their own "main" message queue for message submission.
Specifying this directive, **inside a ruleset definition**, turns this
on. This is both a performance enhancement and also permits different
rulesets (and thus different inputs within the same rsyslogd instance)
to use different types of main message queues.
The ruleset queue is created with the parameters that are specified for
the main message queue at the time the directive is given. If different
queue configurations are desired, different main message queue
directives must be used **in front of** the $RulesetCreateMainQueue
directive. Note that this directive may only be given once per ruleset.
If multiple statements are specified, only the first is used and for the
others error messages are emitted.
Note that the final set of ruleset configuration directives specifies
the parameters for the default main message queue.
To learn more about this feature, please be sure to read about
`multi-ruleset support in rsyslog <multi_ruleset.html>`_.
**Caveats:**
The configuration statement "$RulesetCreateMainQueue off" has no effect
at all. The capability to specify this is an artifact of the legacy
configuration language.
**Example:**
This example sets up a tcp server with three listeners. Each of these
three listener is bound to a specific ruleset. As a performance
optimization, the rulesets all receive their own private queue. The
result is that received messages can be independently processed. With
only a single main message queue, we would have some lock contention
between the messages. This does not happen here. Note that in this
example, we use different processing. Of course, all messages could also
have been processed in the same way ($IncludeConfig may be useful in
that case!).

Note the positions of the directives. With the legacy language,
position is very important. It is highly suggested to use
the *ruleset()* object in RainerScript config language if you intend
to use ruleset queues. The configuration is much more straightforward in
that language and less error-prone.
