/* The maxqueue queue_limit keyword limits the number of events that
a forwarder can queue while a previous event is being handled. If the
maximum number of events is already queued when a new event arrives,
the new event is ignored by this forwarder. If not specified, this keyword
has a default value of 100 events. If you specify a value greater than
1000 events, the logger automatically limits it to 1000 events. */
