Mtail does not count the amount of lines correctely

[dbaudat]

Hi,

I am new in using mtail and hope not making a mistake creating this bad behavior.

I am using the following version:
mtail version 3.0.0-rc52 git revision 6c1f19c go version go1.20.5 go arch amd64 go os linux with 4 log files, the peak amount of lines is app. 30 000 per minute.

The following command is used to start the mtail process:
/opt/CoMo/mtail_exporter/mtail -address 10.223.86.12 -progs /opt/CoMo/mtail_exporter/config_mtail.mtail -logs /var/log/MAAA/maaa_syslog.log -logs...

I use in example such filter:
counter MAAA_PPEAPSIM_Accounting_Start_counter
/pw-maaa.?Type=Accounting-Start.?LoginType=POSTPAIDEAPSIM/ {
MAAA_PPEAPSIM_Accounting_Start_counter++
}

The machine is not overloaded (CPU / memory or disk), but the results presented in mtail do not match the amount of filterd lines in the log files.

Am I doing somthing wrong? Am I reaching some limits?

Thank you in advance.
Denis
