Hi Zoltan,


Here are the traces:

Hi Igor,



Can you show me truss output or backtrace of the stuck syslog-ng?:

truss:



truss -f -p "syslog-ng pid"


backtrace:



kill -11 "syslog-ng pid" (syslog-ng will drop a core file)
gdb syslog-ng core
bt full

        Hello,

        

        

I am having an issue with a solaris installation of
the syslog-ng. It is configured such that all the logs are stored
different per-ip folders. This is my centralized logging device, so it
is fairly heavily loaded with receiving logs from a few dozen hosts.
The syslog-ng process locks up every two to three weeks, with no
messages logging to any of the files. The only way of getting it back
is kill -9 the process and restart it.

        

Is there any known issue of same sorts and is there any other way
around it other than recycling the daemon every night?

        

        

here is the version info:

        

bash-3.00# syslog-ng --version

syslog-ng 3.0.4
