Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.1901.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer,
In high-volume situations, omfile with asyncWriting enabled can stop
writing to output files and remain stuck there until rsyslog is
restarted.
I have seen this twice in the last couple of months on my buster hosts.
Upstream bug report: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/1701
Upstream fix: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/2794
This patch was released in upstream v8.2012, and so is likely also fixed
in Debian's rsyslog 8.2012.0-1 (testing) and 8.2102.0-2 (unstable). I
suggest a backported patch for the next stable point release and/or an
updated package on buster-backports would be nice for those who don't
have the ability to patch and build their own packages.
Thanks!
Rob N.

I was mistaken. This patch was included in upstream 8.37, so nothing to see
here. I will need to try again to identify the problem.
