      I'm having trouble on one of my three pfsense boxes with syslog-ng stopping processing logfiles after the logrotate run.  I have it configured to monitor three suricate eve.json file and forward the output to a remote syslog server.  But after the logrotate run no more messages are sent.  fsfat shows that it still has the eve.json files open, but truss just has it spinning:

      
_umtx_op(0x80301f080,UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAIT,0x0,0x0,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
_umtx_op(0x80301f080,UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAIT,0x0,0x0,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
_umtx_op(0x80301f080,UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAIT,0x0,0x0,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
_umtx_op(0x80301f080,UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAIT,0x0,0x0,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
_umtx_op(0x80301f080,UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE2,0x0,0x0,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
_umtx_op(0x80301f080,UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAIT,0x0,0x0,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
_umtx_op(0x80301f080,UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE2,0x0,0x0,0x0) = 0 (0x0)

      If I restart syslog-ng it works again.

      Nothing in /var/syslog-ng/default.log, last message is just a statistics message:
