Hi guys, We rsyslog 5.8 in our centOS 6 based systems and we have bumped into the much discussed syslog issue where when log forwarding is enabled using tcp and the remote server is unavailable, after some time, the ssh connection to the host dies. I have been able to reproduce it and I believe the issue arises from the 2 sec default timeout interval set for messages to wait when the spooled queue (In-memory or disk or disk assisted) is completely full. Restarting the rsyslog service promptly bring ssh connectivity back.
I have also experimented with rsyslog7 on centOS 6 system and I do not see the same issue. Can someone please throw some light as to what changed between rsyslog 5.8 and rsyslog 7.10 that the issue has been fixed. Are there other issues with rsyslog7 which I should be aware of? thanks ani _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
