** Description changed: - We have rsyslog configured to listen for forwarded logs on TCP and UDP, - and to forward logs on to a central log host. On a number of occasions - we have observed rsyslog in a hung state on our production machines -- - not fowarding logs and not writing them to disk locally. It doesn't - happen all the time, so I believe there's some sort of race condition - involved. + [Impact] + We have rsyslog configured to listen for forwarded logs on TCP and UDP, and to forward logs on to a central log host. On a number of occasions we have observed rsyslog in a hung state on our production machines -- not fowarding logs and not writing them to disk locally. It doesn't happen all the time, so I believe there's some sort of race condition involved. I've attached a stack trace taken when the process was hung. I believe the issue is the same as the one discussed here: http://www.gossamer- threads.com/lists/rsyslog/users/5873 There is a patch attached to that thread. + [Test Case] + << TBD >> + + [Regression Potential] + This is a fix for a deadlock issue it is pretty difficult to determine if fixing a race condition would impact anything else, however, testing from the community hasn't raised any concerns. + Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS x86_64 rsyslog 5.8.6-1ubuntu8 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169740 Title: rsyslog hangs loading modules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1169740/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
