[syslog-ng] new copr package required: fatal error is syslog-ng 4.8 from copr when reading pipe sources.

[Peter Czanik (pczanik)]

Hi Evan,

Version 4.8.1 of syslog-ng was released yesterday. It should also fix your problem. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/czanik/syslog-ng48/is already updated to 4.8.1, the syslog-ng-stable repo will be updated with a few days of delay, as usual.

Have a nice weekend,

Peter

I should have looked at reported issues. This issue was reported previously at

https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues/5057

And the PR has already been created.

I will wait for an updated package from copr.

I upgraded syslog-ng today from 4.6 to 4.8 and my disk drive almost immediately filled due to the local error from syslog-ng

2024-09-20T11:59:38.760-07:00 hostname syslog.err syslog-ng[600690]: Error invoking seek on file; filename='/var/log/syslog.pipes/mailstats2', error='Illegal seek (29)'

This logged repeatedly until the disk filled up.

My source definition for that pipe is

source mailstats2 { pipe("/var/log/syslog.pipes/mailstats2" log_iw_size(900000) log_fetch_limit(500) flags(no-parse) ); };

Any insight would be useful.
