wrong time in JournalReader #15
Comments
|
I just tried to reproduce this but wasn't successful. I used this script to generate a journal entry, show it in journalctl, then show it like the original report: #!/usr/bin/env python3
import datetime, os, subprocess
from cysystemd.reader import JournalReader, JournalOpenMode
IDENT = 'cysystemd'
subprocess.run([
'logger', '-t', IDENT, '-p', 'user.debug',
f"current time is {datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat(timespec='seconds')}",
], check=True)
jenv = os.environ.copy()
jenv['TZ'] = 'Etc/UTC'
subprocess.run(['journalctl', '--user', '-n', '1', '-t', IDENT],
check=True, env=jenv)
journal = JournalReader()
journal.open(JournalOpenMode.CURRENT_USER)
journal.seek_tail()
while record := journal.previous():
if record.data.get('SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER') == IDENT:
break
print(record.date.isoformat(timespec='seconds'), record.data.get('MESSAGE', ''))When I run it on my system, the times all match: I noticed that the logs in the original report are apparently setting the system time via NTP a lot, and there's a reference to VirtualBox. With time potentially changing out from underneath the system, I wonder if maybe one of these processes started with a clock that was out of sync or something? |

Hello,
I'm using version 1.1.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. There is a difference in timestamps when reading via
JournalReaderandjournalctl. Some of my log messages contain time info, that is identical withjournalctltimestamps. Timezone difference doesn't matter, please look to seconds.Thank you!
