Messsage Log was truncated, restarting from beginning
jmlps
Hi,
I'm using nxlog ce latest version with centos 7 with latest patches to read files from a directory that is a cifs mount to a windows server. Logs are in w3c format.
However from times to times, I'm getting the information in nxlog log file "INFO input file '' was truncated, restarting from the beginning", but the file isn't truncated.
Using strace with options -tfp (since debug option of nxlog doesn't give me much information) i get this:
pid 7675] 12:52:58 close(16
[pid 7676] 12:52:58 {st_mode=S_IFREG|0400, st_size=144080774, ...}) = 0
[pid 7676] 12:52:58 stat("",
[pid 7675] 12:52:58 ) = 0
[pid 7676] 12:52:58 {st_mode=S_IFREG|0400, st_size=54218426, ...}) = 0
[pid 7675] 12:52:58 stat("",
[pid 7676] 12:52:58 stat("",
[pid 7675] 12:52:58 {st_mode=S_IFREG|0400, st_size=277116066, ...}) = 0
[pid 7675] 12:52:58 fstat(26, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0400, st_size=277116066, ...}) = 0
[pid 7676] 12:52:58 {st_mode=S_IFREG|0400, st_size=141529135, ...}) = 0
[pid 7676] 12:52:58 stat("", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0400, st_size=148346198, ...}) = 0
My nxlog configuration is this:
User nxlog
Group nxlog
LogFile /var/log/nxlog/nxlog.log
LogLevel INFO
define DIR
Module xm_syslog
Module im_file
File '%DIR%/_*_.w3c'
SavePos TRUE
ReadFromLast TRUE
Recursive TRUE
RenameCheck TRUE
CloseWhenIdle TRUE
PollInterval 5
DirCheckInterval 10
ActiveFiles 4
to_syslog_bsd();
Module om_tcp
Host
Port 514
Path in1 => out_syslog-ng
Can you understand why nxlog says that file is truncated when it's not?
