Hi Alex! I've checked the attached config and logs, and it looks like syslog-ng cannot send logs to the "/dev/uds_log" destination, and you have flow-control enabled in the config. Once you fill the disk-buffer (which is a 4MiB sized reliable disk-buffer), flow-control kicks in and syslog-ng stops reading more messages from the sources that are connected to this destination. example log: Destination reliable queue full, dropping message; filename='/tmp/syslog-ng-00016.rqf', queue_len='6063', mem_buf_size='2097152', disk_buf_size='4194304', persist_name='afsocket_dd_qfile(stream,localhost.afunix:/dev/uds_log)' At first, I would suggest to increase the disk-buffer size.

Hi, I have syslog-ng 3.32.1 running in a Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) with the configuration in the attachement. After sometime running, syslog-ng seems be unable to read from system() and internal() sources. Log messages from syslog(ip(10.20.30.40) transport("udp") port(514) keep-alive(no)); are seen in the output folders. Also journald logs are working fine. After a reload of configuration in which what changes is this line: rewrite r_host { set("MACHINE-${HOST}", value("HOST")); }; logging is resumed. Here is the time gap for logs: <43>1 2022-03-11T11:55:23.802+00:00 xmm4-1-1 syslog-ng 8283 - [meta sequenceId="767"] Last message 'Destination reliable' repeated 8933 times, suppressed by syslog-ng on xmm4-1-1 <46>1 2022-03-14T07:19:01.817+00:00 xmm4-1-1 syslog-ng 8283 - [meta sequenceId="1"] Module loaded and initialized successfully; module='syslogformat' Do you know why this is happening? Thanks & Regards, Alex
