hi,all i am using rsyslog 5.8.13 under centos 5.8, with the config like below:
$OMFileAsyncWriting on $OMFileFlushOnTXEnd off $OMFileFlushInterval 30 $OMFileZipLevel 9 $OMFileIOBufferSize 256k $template MyFileFormat,"%timegenerated:::date-rfc3339% %fromhost-ip% %rawmsg%\n" $template DynFile,"/home/rsyslog/logs/chat.%$now%.%$hour%.log.gz" :rawmsg, contains, "INFO|CHAT|DLL_MD5" -?DynFile;MyFileFormat & ~ :rawmsg, contains, "INFO|CHAT|LOGIN" -?DynFile;MyFileFormat & ~ i use OMFileZipLevel and OMFileIOBufferSize because the log is very large. but i am countering a problem that some messages in the DynFilewill mixed together in one line like : 2012-11-20T23:00:18.079471+08:00 114.113.197.94 <134>Nov 20 23:00:18 xx74-158 xx_202[914]: [103991]INFO|CHAT|DLL_MD5,,xxxxx,,712970202,,ntdll.dll|c30a91ade8c9cb91e4281ec83c4500c6;kernel32.dll|e570cb2012-11-20T23:00:00.058220+08:00 11.11.19.93 <134>Nov 20 23:00:00 xx186-155 xx_211[4146]:[103991]INFO|CHAT|LOGIN,,xxxxx,,985440211,,8.24.28.15,,51,,3172303-123928576,,ST500DM002-1BD142-W2A1EZDK,,2bba83a20faded52cf782c4917991024,,fcb7cd8a0b1ab25e2656261f7785172e,,bff0b3e2bb5d19adc87d4041b38299ec,0,,0,0,0,,0 i check the output file and found that rsyslog seems using two threads write to the same DynFile. thread one handles ':rawmsg, contains, "INFO|CHAT|DLL_MD5" ' condition and has a 256k buffer. thread two handles ':rawmsg, contains, "INFO|CHAT|LOGIN" ' condition and has another 256k buffer. this problem happens when thread one flush the buffer to file , and thread two flush its buffer later, then this mix will show upbetween the two flushes. i think the buffer is count exactly by bytes, but not consideringmessage, so this is the right behavior it should be. but how can i fix this problem? is it possible to config rsyslog using one thread for the same file? or how can i use the OR EXPRESSION in the config file like: :rawmsg, contains, "INFO|CHAT|DLL_MD5" or "INFO|CHAT|LOGIN" -?DynFile;MyFileFormat thanks for your help. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
