Hi, I seem to have an issue with message loss when sending messages between a client and a server. - this seems to be repeatable.
Scenario; Client using RELP (or tcp): Server using RELP (or tcp): (configs below) Client> logger HELLO WORLD Server> Sees "HELLO WORLD" <stop logger on server> Client> HELLO WORLD 1 Client> HELLO WORLD 2 Client> HELLO WORLD 3 Client> HELLO WORLD 4 Client log sees all entries. <start logger on server> Client> HELLO WORLD # (to force a flush) Server sees> Server> HELLO WORLD 1 Server> HELLO WORLD 3 Server> HELLO WORLD 4 Server> HELLO WORLD Looking at the code, it appears to work as follows; a. Queue first entry b. Queue second entry c. Remove entry from Queue d. Submit to transport e. If transport fails, go into retry loop f. When transport comes back up, proceed to dequeue next entry (!) Issues; - this always skips an entry on reconnect, seems to happen with both RELP and TCP - I've not tested this, but I'm guessing shutting down the client while in retry mode also loses the entry as the retry entry isn't on the queue It "looks" like a design issue ... i.e. one-in-the-chamber rather than queue peek .. am I misreading? or does anyone have a workaround?? (or did I do something bad in the config?) Server config; module(load="impstats") module(load="imuxsock") module(load="imklog") module(load="imrelp") input(type="imrelp" port="514") action(type="omfile" File="/var/log/syslog" sig.provider="gt" sig.keepTreeHashes="on" sig.keepRecordHashes="on") Client config; module(load="imfile") module(load="imuxsock") module(load="imklog") module(load="omrelp") $ActionForwardDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat type="omrelp" Target="<target server IP>" Port="514" queue.filename="forwarding" queue.type="LinkedList" queue.saveonshutdown="on" queue.maxdiskspace="1g" queue.spoolDirectory="/var/lib/rsyslog" queue.size="16384" queue.highwatermark="12000" action.resumeRetryCount="10" action.resumeInterval="5" ) tia Regards, Gareth. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
