Hi,
Last week we reported three bugs to Red Hat that hit us in a single
incident :) Each of these three bugs were apparently known "shortcomings"
in rsyslog v2.0.6, here is the list:
- Bug 519192 - rsyslog server cannot handle more than 1000 open files
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519192
- Bug 519201 - rsyslog stops logging locally if remote messages are being
queued
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519201
- Bug 519203 - Applications block when rsyslog has remote messages queued
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519203
We hope we will get fixes for at least the two latter issues, as they
seem to be fixed in newer releases. Since it is likely that Red Hat might
rebase rsyslog in RHEL5 to a newer stable branch in RHEL5.5, we hope to
see a fix before we see a rebased package.
The limitation of 1000 open file descriptors however (limitation of
select()) is still there in newer rsyslog releases and therefor we are
probably forced to work around it. Although I find it personally strange
that this limitation is not a more widespread problem. Is everybody using
a database backend ? Or are people segregating syslog messages by
location/importance ?
Feedback welcome !
