This is correct, it is operating exactly as intended.
So it looks like syslog-ng is only started after the first "Forwarding to syslog missed..." message.
Ok, that's fine.
Yes, nothing wrong with that, what do you expect ? no messages "lost", as the log says the journal forwarded messages to syslog when it started, syslog is a regular service, it has to start waay *after* systemd begins logging..
Messages told to be "missed" are stored in the journal (in the past, when syslog was the only way, those messages were simply lost) in this context "missed" means that the syslog socket buffer is full and can't take it anymore.
Well, the syslog buffer never was full and dropping messages after a few days of uptime before journal came along. This is not about a 100k messages / second syslog server, this is a notebook with 3 dhclient messages every 30 minutes and all of them get lost once it starts to malfunction. I will see if it works better now after the reboot. And voila: last message in syslog is Apr 17 14:28:55 susi dhclient[1923]: DHCPREQUEST on air to ... and journal starts dropping at... Apr 17 14:31:07 susi.home.s3e.de systemd-journal[249]: Forwarding to syslog missed 1 messages. Everything after that is missing from syslog. => journald does not work as advertised. Can I prevent systemd/journald's occupation of the syslog socket somehow? -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
