10/28/2025, 10:54 AMThe latest code shows this line as the source: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/blob/6345fd16baa7be54841bc42e1482131ce712fd3b/plugins/in_tail/tail_fs_inotify.c#L147
This makes a system call: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/inotify_add_watch.2.html

"failed to allocate a needed resource (ENOSPC)");Sujay
10/28/2025, 10:56 AMwhich resource it might be specifially im trying to understand
p
Pat
10/28/2025, 10:56 AMnope, that's not the line I pointed at
Pat
10/28/2025, 10:56 AMhttps://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/blob/v3.2.5/plugins/in_tail/tail_fs_inotify.c#L147 is the code for 3.2.5 but I would suggest at the very least stepping up to a supported version anyway
s
Sujay
10/28/2025, 10:57 AMokay got it

Pat
10/28/2025, 10:57 AMthat branch you are talking about only gets taken for a specific error code which is not what you have there, you have another one from https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/inotify_add_watch.2.html

Sujay
10/28/2025, 11:00 AMokay got it, it might be due to some load test that was ongoing
Sujay
10/28/2025, 11:00 AMalso what I wanted to understand was, if it not watching the file for some reason
Sujay
10/28/2025, 11:01 AMwould that also mean it did not capture some logs
