Re: [PATCH] Log: Use threaded mode for syslog and file log

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm not saying that your arguments doesn't make sense, on the other hand, logsys in corosync/openais used to have threaded logging for AGES. I believe this had reason.

Also I hope syslog will NOT just start dropping messages. I know rsyslogd has this ability and this can be turned off.

So if somebody is running ether syslog without rate limit OR for example log files on disconnected NFS share, corosync would block and I believe this is not what we want.

Andrew Beekhof napsal(a):
As someone that uses libqb to log a metric buttload to files and
syslogs on a regular basis... I have to ask "why?".

Even prior to libqb, I've never seen anything that would suggest a
process was blocked waiting for syslog or a file (and thats with 5 or
more processes logging to the same place).
Syslog will just start dropping messages if you log too much, so I'm
inclined to say you're solving a theoretical problem :)

Something to think about.

mode to prevent it.
