  • Should You Be Scared of Unix Signals?

    > Libc is a lot more tricky about signals, since not all libc functions can be safely called from handlers.

    And this is a huge thing. People do all kinds of operations in signal handlers completely oblivious to the pitfalls. Pitfalls which often do not manifest, making it a great "it works for me" territory.

    I once raised a ticket on fluentbit[1] about it but they have abused signal handlers so thoroughly that I do not think they can mitigate the issue without a major rewriting of the signal and crash handling.

    FluentBit, is a logging processor that can help you to push all of your application logs to a central location like an ElasticSearch or OpenSearch cluster.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing rsyslog and fluent-bit you can also consider the following projects:

syslog-ng - syslog-ng is an enhanced log daemon, supporting a wide range of input and output methods: syslog, unstructured text, queueing, SQL & NoSQL.

loki - Like Prometheus, but for logs.

librdkafka - The Apache Kafka C/C++ library

jaeger - CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform

Flume - Mirror of Apache Flume

winston - A logger for just about everything.

lua-mongo - MongoDB Driver for Lua

Grafana - The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

FreeRADIUS - FreeRADIUS - A multi-protocol policy server.

stanza - Fast and lightweight log transport and processing.
