log.io do not respond from sshfs connected log-files

[dimti]

Hello

In my situation, i need use log.io from local computer, and parsing logs from a remote server connected via sshfs.

tail -f for remote filesystem works (but slowly) and a log.io not read this files (not send notification to server, if logs is changed). How to debug this situation and force log.io to work with network file systems?

Can confirm this.

On sshfs connected files, the harvester crawl does not trigger if changes are made from the remote machine.
However they do work on a manual echo "test" >> mylog.log on the local machine. During this, every change made on the remote machine is read as well.

Example:
Log-File mylog.log on remote machine, connected via sshfs to local machine, where the harvester is running.

Changes on remote machine:
echo "hello world from remote" >> mylog.log
-> No output on log.io

Changes on local machine:
echo "hello world from local" >> mylog.log

Output on log.io:

hello world from remote
hello world from local

I haven't found a way to debug it any further.

log.io uses node.js' native fs.watch() to detect file changes, which uses inotify under the hood on linux system. There are known issues around inotify support for network mounts: https://stackoverflow.com/q/4231243

This issue is happening below the application layer and likely won't be supported by log.io anytime soon.
