</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ok, I've now read the relevant code to see how the journald polling operates and now have a general understanding.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Couple of questions and notes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) which version of of systemd do you have? (Debian buster currently has 247.3-6~bpo10+1), is that right?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) syslog-ng 3.36.1, right?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) you are using flow-control + disk buffer<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">4) your system seems to be lightly loaded, you seem to have had ~30 messages/sec in the journal between stalling and recovering via SIGHUP (based on the "processed" counts and the last timestamp)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">syslog-ng uses the libsystemd library to poll for changes, which in turn uses inotify to watch the directories and files that make up the journal. You should see the inotify fd in the lsof output. I have mine like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">syslog-ng 3233 root 11r a_inode 0,14 0 10439 inotify<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">You should also have a couple of "eventpoll" fd's open, in lsof output this should look like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">syslog-ng 3233 root 3u a_inode 0,14 0 10439 [eventpoll]<br>
syslog-ng 3233 root 13u a_inode 0,14 0 10439 [eventpoll]<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you can see, I have two of these eventpoll fds, #3 is the main one, usually that comes first.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you do an strace on the syslog-ng process (command was "strace -s 256 -f -p <syslogng-pid> -o aaa"), you can see the epoll being manipulated:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"># we are grepping for all epoll operations with fd #3<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In both cases, after the thread "625546" starts executing, we use the journald APIs to fetch the message. It's not v ery visible from the strace as sdjournal seems to access the files via mmap or something, but you should definitely see
the disk buffer being written as messages get delivered, since you are using a reliable disk buffer (which you may not need btw, but that's a separate discussion).<o:p></o:p></p>

we don't poll the inotify fd (you can confirm this via strace as above)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1">
we do poll the fd, but we don't read the events from it (again strace helps here)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1">
we do poll fd fd and read the events but somehow we don't respond to it properly (this is probably a bug)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1">
our worker wakes up in response to the event but then it doesn't consume messages from the journal (this is probably a bug)<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If we are not polling the inotify fd, that means that the systemd-journal() source might be suspended. This can happen for example because of flow control:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
a source is suspended if some of its flow-controlled destinations are unable to consume the messages it produces. in your case, you have a disk buffer and that consumes all messages up to its capacity. I didn't see disk buffers that were full (the queued counters
are all zero), you were also saying that those same files are being written, messages delivered normally.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
if for some reason we are stuck in the "suspended" state and the wakeup mechanism does not work (this is probably a bug)<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
