Hi Folks, I observed a weird behaviour with rsyslog. In the following logs, you can find a line is the log of 8 hours ago. This issue appears occasionally. Around 10 times per-day. And some old logs are more days ago.
# grep from /var/log/swift/all.log # May 4 09:59:59 cloud-paco02 object-updater: Object update sweep of d32 completed: 0.03s, 0 successes, 0 failures May 4 09:59:59 cloud-paco02 object-updater: Object update sweep of d30 completed: 0.02s, 0 successes, 0 failures May 4 09:59:59 cloud-paco02 object-updater: Object update sweep completed: 0.46sMay 4 02:02:08 cloud-paco02 object-updater: Object update sweep of d31 completed: 0.00s, 0 successes, 0 failures May 4 10:04:59 cloud-paco02 object-updater: Begin object update sweep May 4 10:04:59 cloud-paco02 object-updater: Object update sweep of d31 completed: 0.00s, 0 successes, 0 failures May 4 10:04:59 cloud-paco02 object-updater: Object update sweep of d32 completed: 0.00s, 0 successes, 0 failures - Our daemons send log to the unix domain socket (/dev/log) - Rsyslog version - 7.4.4-1ubuntu2.6 [ Confs ] The log facilities are local0 and local2 from our daemons. local2.* /var/log/swift/proxy_access.log;RSYSLOG_FileFormat local0.*;local2.* /var/log/swift/all.log;RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat & ~ Here’s gist link of the /etc/rsyslog.conf https://gist.github.com/HugoKuo/1bc7a61c87dafb2c9c7bd9bf792148fc - Any recommendation would be great. - I suspect the old logs are buffered somewhere - Is there a way to dump all those buffered log? - I believe it’s nothing about out daemon since I restarted our processes but the old log is still showing up. - I have four servers in this situation.
