Hi Everyone, I'm having hard time understanding what is going on with the syslogd on some of my servers. It restarts on a regular basis and that just looks suspicious to me. I'm using OpenBSD 6.3 (GENERIC.MP).
Here is an output of the syslogd: Sep 26 07:00:01 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 26 10:00:07 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 26 10:00:07 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 26 16:38:44 <IP> syslogd: dropped 5 messages during initialization Sep 26 16:38:44 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 27 14:00:01 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 27 14:00:01 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 27 16:31:34 <IP> syslogd: dropped 5 messages during initialization Sep 27 16:31:34 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 28 04:00:01 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 28 04:00:01 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 28 10:01:47 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 28 10:01:47 <IP> syslogd: start Sep 28 11:25:54 <IP> syslogd: dropped 5 messages during initialization Sep 28 11:25:54 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 28 16:24:24 <IP> syslogd: dropped 5 messages during initialization Sep 28 16:24:24 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 28 17:00:02 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 28 17:00:02 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 28 19:00:01 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 28 19:00:01 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 28 23:22:18 <IP> syslogd: dropped 5 messages during initialization Sep 28 23:22:18 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 29 10:00:01 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 29 10:00:01 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 29 16:17:14 <IP> syslogd: dropped 5 messages during initialization Sep 29 16:17:14 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 29 19:00:01 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 29 19:00:01 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 30 10:11:52 <IP> syslogd: dropped 5 messages during initialization Sep 30 10:11:52 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 30 16:10:05 <IP> syslogd: dropped 5 messages during initialization Sep 30 16:10:05 <IP> syslogd: restart Sep 30 17:00:02 <IP> syslogd: dropped 9 messages during initialization Sep 30 17:00:02 <IP> syslogd: restart Any ideas on how I can start investigate this issue? Also what would be your thinking on what is going on? Thank you a lot -- --- Best regards, Bogdan
