 |
|
hi,
i have almost finished another amd64 installation here, but ran into some trouble.
After emerging and starting metalog it show up in top with 100% CPU-usage, i think it didn't do that before and should not do this now. But i don't know what the problem is?
While i was searching for some error messages, i found out, that dmesg also has problems. It gives me absolutely no output, not even after a restart..
since i have no logger, i don't know what logs i could post.. sry.

Hi, Strowi,
Why don't you try to merge the logger?
Also after starting metalog, did you come back to the normal prompt?
Thank you. |

hi,
what do you mean by "logger" ?
Metalog merged fine. I start metalog through "/etc/init.d/metalog start" and everything else works fine as it should, except the CPU usage.
I tried both version, stable and unstable one:
metalog-0.8_pre20031130 and 0.8._rc1-r1

OK, did you try any other logger?
We need to make sure that it's this one...
Thank you. |

hi,
solved those 2 problems by recompiling my kernel. Guess somehow 'printk support' must have dissapeared.
Thx for your help!

I can only recommend not to use metalog. Use syslog-ng instead. Many apps that use log-output seem to have problems with metalogs format/files.

well, i haven't had any problems with metalog up until that misconfigured kernel made it use 100% CPU.
On my other machine it also runs very well.

| Just wanted to point out that metalog has a different naming of logfiles and some apps expect the names of the logfiles like syslog(-ng) does name them. So you might eventually run into trouble or you have to adjust filenames in your program manually. Also logging to console didnt work for me with metalog. |
