Some or all of the information +might also apply to other solutions. + +Potential Trouble causes: + +- container terminate timeout + + By default, a docker container has 10 seconds to shut down. If rsyslog + is running with a large queue that needs to be persisted to disk, + that amount of time might be insufficient. This can lead to a hard + kill of rsyslog and potentially cause queue corruption. + +- shared work directories + + Shared work directories call for problems and shall be avoided. If + multiple instances use the same work directory, the may even overwrite + some files, resulting in a total mess. Each container instance should + have its own work directory. + |
