I thought this was identified as the polling problem?

Hello,

Sorry for resurrecting this thread - is this issue fixed in 8.5.0 (I'm not
sure if I should test it or not)? Or should I open a github issue about it?

If it's fixed, is there a timeline for getting a stable version out of
8.5.0+?

Hi David,

Thanks for commenting - I'm aware of this (normal) behavior.

It's just a dummy file, really, I do `echo blabla >> /var/log/....`
repeatedly. I don't expect to see the very last message because of what you
said, but imfile doesn't do anything in inotify mode. In polling mode it
works as expected.

Remember that with readmode != 0, rsyslog needs to see the start of the
next log message before it can be sure that the prior one has finished. So
you have to have it reading a file with more than one message in it.

What does the file you are realing look like?

Subject: [rsyslog] not forwarding when imfile has readmode=2


Hello,

I was just testing an rsyslog 8.4.2 with our Logsene and I didn't
understand why I couldn't see no logs from the tailed files. The problem
seems to be that, with ReadMode set to 2, imfile doesn't pass events on
no
matter what you put in the file.

I always see this in the debug log and nothing else:

3954.342512201:imfile.c       : DDDD: imfile: wd 3 got file 1, dir -1
3954.342522434:imfile.c       : strm 0x7fc6e00045b0: file 7 read 9 bytes
3954.342528353:imfile.c       : strm 0x7fc6e00045b0: file 7 read 0 bytes
3954.342537453:imfile.c       : stream checking for file change on
'/var/log/cassandra/system.log', inode 263735/263735
3962.854107352:imfile.c       : DDDD: imfile event notification: rd
16[0],
wd (3, mask 00000002, cookie 0000, len 0)
3962.854124058:imfile.c       : watch was MODIFID

For reference, here's a complete configuration that normally works with
Logsene:

module(load="imfile")

input(type="imfile"
     File="/var/log/cassandra/system.log"
     Tag="cassandra-system:"
     StateFile="cassandra-system"
     ReadMode="2")

*.* @@logsene-receiver-syslog.sematext.com;RSYSLOG_
SyslogProtocol23Format

As soon as I set ReadMode to the default 0, things work as expected (logs
are forwarded all the way).

Does anyone else experience this issue? It may be recently introduced,
because I tested various versions and I never had this problem. And I was
always using ReadMode 2.

Best regards,
Radu
