Hello, I've only been using heka for a couple months, and this is my first time posting to this mailing list. I've been running into the following issue with logstreamer input, and was hoping someone on here might point me in the right direction.
Every so often, when logrotate rotates logs, the logstreamer input appears to start tailing the oldest log, which gets deleted during the rotate, and then it will just get stuck there and not make any progress. Here is my logstreamer config: [MongoTailer] type = "LogstreamerInput" log_directory = "/data/log/mongo" journal_directory = "/data/appdata/heka" # expect files named mongod.<rset>.log[-YYYYMMDD] file_match = 'mongod\.(?P<Rset>\S+)\.log-?((?P<Year>\d{4})(?P<Month>\d{2})(?P<Day>\d{2}))?' differentiator = ["all.", "Rset"] priority = ["Year", "Month", "Day"] # make the log ending in .log the most recent [MongoTailer.translation.Year] missing = 9999 Running heka-logstreamer on the config shows what I expect: Logstream name: [all.venues0] Files: 8 (printing oldest to newest) /data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log-20160121 /data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log-20160122 /data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log-20160123 /data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log-20160124 /data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log-20160125 /data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log-20160126 /data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log-20160127 /data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log During normal operation, looking at the journal file also shows what I expect: {"seek":79749937,"file_name":"/data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log","last_hash":"be40779a9aaa7371ee8a53fc448ba10d7c084fe3"} But, sometimes when logrotate does rotation, the journal file will then show: {"seek":55436986,"file_name":"/data/log/mongo/mongod.venues0.log-20160120","last_hash":"ad99fe64c5f6cba6a2a197dfa14cc10c583cf712"} The file it appears to tail no longer exists, and it will just sit there until I bounce hekad. I'm not sure why it would go from tailing the newest file to tailing the oldest file. After bouncing it will go back through all the old logs again. Any ideas what could be happening?
