I using lpeg and tail.lua to handle mysql slow logs , and send the heka message to kafka.

config:

output_path             = "output"
output_size             = 1024 * 1024 * 1024
sandbox_load_path       = nil -- disable dynamic loading
sandbox_run_path        = "slow"
analysis_threads        = 1
analysis_lua_path       = "/usr/local/lib/luasandbox/modules/?.lua;/usr/lib64/luasandbox/modules/?.lua"
analysis_lua_cpath      = "/usr/local/lib/luasandbox/modules/?.so;/usr/lib64/luasandbox/modules/?.so"
io_lua_path             = analysis_lua_path ..  ";/usr/local/lib/luasandbox/io_modules/?.lua;/usr/lib64/luasandbox/io_modules/?.lua"
io_lua_cpath            = analysis_lua_cpath .. ";/usr/local/lib/luasandbox/io_modules/?.so;/usr/lib64/luasandbox/io_modules/?.so"
max_message_size        = 1024 * 1024 * 8

analysis_defaults = {
    output_limit        = 1024 * 64,        -- default
    memory_limit        = 1024 * 1024 * 8,  -- default
    instruction_limit   = 1000000,          -- default
    preserve_data       = false,            -- default
    ticker_interval     = 60,
    }

input_defaults = {
    output_limit        = 1024 * 1024  * 8,
    instruction_limit   = 0,
    }

output_defaults = {
    output_limit    = 1024 * 1024  * 8,
    ticker_interval = 60,
    preserve_data       = true,
    }

I use the command bellow to start hindsight :

 hindsight test.cfg  7
1559713574273860293 [debug] input_reader output.kafka opened file: output/input/3.log offset: 555970916
1559713574273917264 [debug] input_reader output.kafka opened file: output/analysis/0.log
1559713574544136305 [info] input.slowsql detaching received: 0 msg:

It works all right . But hindsight just handle the old messages in the slow log file . the message generate can't be handled continually , It was very strange. If i restart hindsight, it can do the messages from last point and then the handle stoped ( hindsight do not exit).

I do not know the reason at all .

The slowsql in configured to exit on the EOF.

1559713574544136305 [info] input.slowsql detaching received: 0 msg:

Set the ticker_interval to 1 in that input cfg as documented here: http://mozilla-services.github.io/lua_sandbox/heka/input.html#Polling there is also an example here: http://mozilla-services.github.io/hindsight/tutorials/cookbooks.html#MySQL_Slow_Query_Log

The regular version of hindsight does not automatically shutdown when all inputs have completed (that is a feature of hindsight_cli), this is expected behavior. Normally with dynamic loading disabled you would use shutdown_on_terminate = true in the input configuration if it was considered mission critical see: http://mozilla-services.github.io/hindsight/configuration.html

@trink Thanks
