Hey Michael,
Without more information, such as helpful verbose output from
rdlogmanager(1), it's tough to diagnose a problem like this.
I recommend running it under strace(1) to see what exactly rdlogmanager
is doing at the system call level. Here is an example of how I might use
strace to figure out what rdlogmanager is doing:
strace -ttt -f -ff -s 1024 -o /tmp/rdlogmanager-strace rdlogmanager
-g -s Production -d 10
Read the manual page to learn about all the options. (You can use
RDLogEdit to later delete that log if you'd like.)
I ended up with five files in /tmp, one of which contains the regular
expression:
insert into LOG_LINES.*,TYPE=5,
TYPE=5 means a Log Chain event. Search for that expression in your
strace output and then look at the lines preceding that (if you can find
one).
Also search for the string:
select `CHAIN_LOG` from `SERVICES` where `NAME`=
in your strace output. The line after the line containing that string
should contain a bunch of backslashes and numbers, and also the letter
"Y" or "N". This indicates whether a log chain should be inserted at the
end of a log.
Tracing execution with strace can lead you down a rabbit hole, but it's
a pretty simple and effective way to learn what's going on with the
program. There's probably more one could do with strace to troubleshoot
this, or maybe run rdlogmanager in GDB to more precisely trace the
execution.
Hope this helps!
