I have a simple java app that collect files of disk, converts the [json] contents and then forwards it to a splunk instance over tcp using mina.
<endpoint id="input" uri="${input.endpoint}"/> <endpoint id="output" uri="${output.endpoint}"/> <route autoStartup="true" xmlns=" http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"> <from ref="input"/> <convertBodyTo type="java.lang.String"/> <bean ref="jsonToSplunk"/> <to ref="splunk" /> </route> input.endpoint = file:/dir/to/files?delete=true&recursive=true&maxMessagesPerPoll=500 output.endpoint = mina:tcp://splunkhost/?textline=true&textlineDelimiter=UNIX&sync=false It also emits a heartbeat message every minute over JMS using camel quartz endpoint. The problem I am having is that after about a day of running, the process stops picking up files and sending them to splunk and stops sending the heartbeat JMS messages. However, the log is still showing that it is emitting messages. It's like the camel routes have just stopped working properly but I have no idea why. I see a bunch of these exceptions in the log like the following.. which is suggesting it is failing to connect to splunk sometimes. 2011-05-07 12:41:50.457659500 2011-05-07 13:41:50,456 [Camel (main) thread #0 - file:///home/wfe/var/ispy/events] ERROR org.apache.camel.processor.DeadLetterChannel - Failed delivery for exchangeId: ID-vp-prod-wfe-a-61766-1304769141692-0-95088.

Let me know if I should provide extra information. Thanks, Tom
