[syslog-ng] Syslog restarting

[Henric Larsson]

Hi,

We're using syslog-ng PE with disk buffering enabled.

The syslog clients gets disconnected all the time, and when they restart I get these log messages:

2010-02-11T14:19:37+00:00 bruatosd003 syslog-ng[4686]: I/O error occurred while writing; fd='8', error='Connection reset by peer (104)'
2010-02-11T14:19:37+00:00 bruatosd003 syslog-ng[4686]: Syslog connection broken; fd='8', server='AF_INET(172.27.12.22:1998)', time_reopen='60'
2010-02-11T14:19:37+00:00 bruatosd003 syslog-ng[4686]: Closing log transport fd; fd='8'
2010-02-11T14:20:41+00:00 bruatosd003 syslog-ng[4686]: Syslog connection established; fd='8', server='AF_INET(172.27.12.22:1998)', local='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:0)'
2010-02-11T14:20:54+00:00 bruatosd003 syslog-ng[28626]: The current log file has a mismatching size/inode information, restarting from the beginning; filename='/var/ig/logs/orderserver/os-gc.1.log'
2010-02-11T14:20:54+00:00 bruatosd003 syslog-ng[28626]: Disk-buffer state saved; filename='/var/ig/logs/orderserver/syslog-ng-db/syslog-ng-00004.qf', qout_length='0', qbacklog_length='0', qoverflow_length='0', qdisk_length='0'
2010-02-11T14:20:54+00:00 bruatosd003 syslog-ng[28626]: The current log file has a mismatching size/inode information, restarting from the beginning; filename='/var/ig/logs/orderserver/os-gc.2.log'


After that syslog starts to send the contents of the file from the start of the file again, after a while it restart this process. In a seemingly endless loop.

As you can see the pid changes between the disconnect and the message about mismatching size/inode.

I'm trying to work out what causes it and how to fix it, any suggestions?

Best,
Henric
