Re: [syslog-ng] 3.4 alpha: Deadlock in MongoDB plugin?

No log messages are ever written to the DB, and after a few messages syslog locks up.

The mongodb threads seems to idle in its normal event loop while the main thread seems to be stuck in some afmongodb-related lock.

That sounds familiar, can you try if this patch fixes it for you? https://github.com/algernon/syslog-ng/commit/7b6280a183e1edec0be2e6b2b0b4bca... (On the hotfix/3.4/afmongodb-notify-deadlock of my repo[1]) [1]: git://github.com/algernon/syslog-ng.git If that works, then I really, really need to get back to working on LogThreadedDestdriver, and get rid of these things once and for all. -- |8]
