Version: syslog-ng-premium-edition-4.1.3-1.rhel5

Operating system: CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

 

We are experiencing an issue where the statistics messages stop getting generated after the nightly reload done by logrotation. This happens pretty consistently after the logrotation runs, although sometimes upward of an hour later.

 

This is the command in the log rotation script:

/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload 2>/dev/null

 

We use the stats to track metrics and additional health monitoring. We are concerned that logs also may be dropped when these stats stop getting reported.

 

A full restart of syslog-ng fixes the issue.

 

Any info would be helpful, thanks!!!
