Hello,
as already mentioned, Kamailio just uses the standard functions for logging, it has no
control about the behaviour of the syslog daemon(s). So, there should be no need to
replace anything.
Maybe you can try to just replace system journal on the machine.
Your issues regarding the system journal performance can be probably better addressed at
their mailing list or similar channels.
Cheers,
Henning

Subject: Re: [SR-Users] How to not write logs to journald with kamailio
Hi,
Thanks all for your information.
Now this morning on live SIP Proxies, I have configured the /etc/systemd/journald.conf
with :
RateLimitIntervalSec=0
RateLimitBurst=0
I have restarted the journald/rsyslog services. But few seconds later, the logging still
stop again.
I have applied the other values suggested in the old article:
RateLimitBurst=1000000 in /etc/systemd/journald.conf
$imjournalRatelimitInterval 1 and $imjournalRatelimitBurst 500000 in /etc/rsyslog.conf
With the above values, I have new no more logs issues like reported in the article.
The above issue is a pure OS problem and I will probably open a ticket to RedHat.
Now back on my initial question related to journald.
On my SIP Proxies, journald is using about 10% of the CPU configured, which is very high
when Kamailio used about 1%.
So I’m looking to replace the current mechanism to write log thru the standard openlog()
and syslog() functions. I assume this is done using the ‘xlog’ module.
Do you think possible to change this by a mechanism to send log messages thru UDP to write
the logs directly to rsyslog,
meaning to replace all the xlog calls in the kamailio.cfg script ?
Cordialement.

you need configure journald config file
/etc/systemd/journald.conf
[root@bcf-b ~]# grep RateLimit /etc/systemd/journald.conf
RateLimitIntervalSec=0
RateLimitBurst=0

Hello,
kamailio uses internally openlog() and syslog() functions from standard libc. It has not
control of what the syslog daemon does, it is a matter of OS configuration, so what you
mention might be the required configuration, not a workaround. Anyhow, maybe others can
comment more.
There are many other cases when the OS has to be tuned to get desired behaviour, eg.,
increase file descriptor limits to handle lots of connections.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
I resend this mail because of the initial destination address was not correct.
The topic was a logging problem :
With the upgrade of my SIP Router proxies to RHEL 7 (and Kamailio 5.0.7) , we encounter
problems where the logs are blocked to be written in the syslog.
This problem is similar as the one reported in this article : [SR-Users] Kamailio logs in
RHEL 7
environment<https://lists.kamailio.org/pipermail/sr-users/2018-April/101…ml>.
The resolution was to increase some journald/rsyslog settings (RateLimitBurst=1000000 /
$imjournalRatelimitInterval 1 $imjournalRatelimitBurst 500000).
But it is somehow a workaround.
I’m looking to know if it should be possible for kamailio to write directly the logs to
the syslog only.
Thanks in advance to those can help me.
Regards
Patrick Ginhoux
