Tried to use these options in rsyslog in redhat linux 8.10 but still these parameters are unsupported.

These parameters are used when rsyslog is used tls connection using gtls or ossl driver.

As this is the CRL File parameter, All the orgs, need this update which adds value for many validations , which verifys the CRL file and revokes the certificate .

I feel this is the major update that is missing in rocky 8 rsyslog Latest version.

This is really not a bug, but rather a feature request. Rocky Linux is a rebuild of the sources provided by Red Hat for the same version of RHEL and as such it is highly unlikely that this feature will be added by Rocky Linux.

You are welcome to file a request for RHEL 8 and if it gets added to RHEL then it will be subsequently updated in Rocky Linux. The likely hood if this feature being added to RHEL 8, however is extremely low as RHEL 8 is now in "Maintenance Support Phase" https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase which basically means major security and bug fixes only.

I should note that Rocky Linux 9 has rsyslog 8.2310.0 which should have the feature you are requesting.
