If you manually do a kill -HUP 11311 do these files get released?

My suspicion was something to do with dynamic file creation but looking
at the code, both static and dynamic file creation use the same function of
file "open":

From tools/omfile.c
------------xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx---------------
fd = open((char*) newFileName,
O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_CLOEXEC,
 556                                 pData->fCreateMode);
------------xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx---------------

"O_APPEND" should take care of file being rotated while rsyslog is trying
to write to it.

Not a typo or error, in RHEL the rsyslogd start up script in init.d has
an explicit variable "PIDFILE" set as:
PIDFILE=/var/run/syslogd.pid

:)

I did not write the script, using whatever was bundled in the RPM I
grabbed from Adiscon.

To confirm:
$ ps ax | grep rsyslog
11331 ?        Sl    61:18 /sbin/rsyslogd -i /var/run/syslogd.pid -x

Hi,

In the logrotate config, change it to /var/run/rsyslog.pid and test. On
a
quick skim, it looks like a typo.

well, one thing that looks wrong is that logrotate is looking for
/var/run/syslog.pid, but on my systems the pid is in
/var/log/rsyslog.pid

are you sure that rsyslog is actually getting the HUP?

can you try sending it a HUP manually and see if it closes the files?

Hi David,

The master conf file is simple with few additions that are
self-explanatory. The other conf in rsyslog.d, I have added comments

 On RHEL 6.2 64-bit, I have Rsyslog 7.4.1 (actually, the issue has

After logrotation, the logrotate script HUPs the rsyslogd pid but
the
disk
space doesn't free up until I restart rsyslog. After a few hours
"df"
reports a full filesystem whereas "ls" shows much smaller file
sizes. In
between this confusion, rsyslog seems to stop receiving log
streams.

Is there a way for rsyslog to switch file handles when it is
HUP-ed?


rsyslog is already supposed to close and re-open files when it's
HUP-ed,
and it seems to be working for me and many others.

could you send your config file so we can see if there is anything
unusual
in it?
