I have tried changing the journal data path but still same issue. Graylog works fine after deleting the journal folder but again after sometime I am getting the above logs.

I have confirmed that no other java process is running apart from Graylog. Kindly help. My graylog is not working for more than 30 mins.

Kindly help . I am stuck.

@macko003 @jan Can you please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Which value did you set for message_journal_max_size in server.conf?

Seems to be a disk space issue, check if there is space available on the machine running the app.

There is enough disk space. I have verified the same.
message_journal_max_size is set to message_journal_max_size = 50gb.

/devmessage_journal_dir = /graylog/journal_data/journal

Disk space:

/sdb1 22T 1.2T 20T 6% /graylog

I have even changed the directory to /graylog which is 20TB free.

  1. It’s a community support. And I don’t get salary for solve other’s problem.

  2. I see only, what you see also. Read your log.
    (the quoted line is the 2nd line)
    Graylog can’t access and lock the /var/lib/graylog-server/journal folder.
    Solve this problem.

Are you sure it is in your server.conf?
