Hi all,
I ran into a strange problem. My setup:
Ubuntu, rsyslog with remote tcp logging to central syslog server.
Connection is periodic, so I need the buffer to file ability of rsyslog.
Ubuntu 10.04LTS, rsyslog 4.2.0-2ubuntu8, using imuxsock module for
remote logging.
Config:
queue type = linkedlist
workdirectory/filename/maxdiskpace set
saveonshutdown on
retrycount -1
What I would expect when there is no connection at reboot is: save in
memory buffer to file (create if there was nothing there yet), at boot
open it and send it in at the first opportunity.
What actually happens: A portion of the buffer is saved to file (checked
by booting from outside and looking at the rsyslog spool) and when the
system boots up, the file disappears without any content showing up on
the remote side. After the last message before connection break, the
next one that gets through are the boot logs.
During normal operation, connection breaks are handled without any problem.
What might the problem be? Configuration problem? Ubuntu upstart
related? rsyslog bug?
Regards
Bgs
