syslog-ng on solaris locks up after a while

[imanassypov]

Hello,


I am having an issue with a solaris installation of the syslog-ng. It is configured such that all the logs are stored different per-ip folders. This is my centralized logging device, so it is fairly heavily loaded with receiving logs from a few dozen hosts. The syslog-ng process locks up every two to three weeks, with no messages logging to any of the files. The only way of getting it back is kill -9 the process and restart it.

Is there any known issue of same sorts and is there any other way around it other than recycling the daemon every night?


here is the version info:

bash-3.00# syslog-ng --version

I am not aware of a known problem like this.  Since no one has answered the question, you might want to try posting it on the syslog-ng developer list: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng
