Log call blocked goroutine for 5 minutes about zerolog

[rs]

Your log output is probably blocking the write.

Could you please elaborate? A ton of other logs were successfully written to disk in the 5 minute interval, so the file was not locked.

[rs]

If the output was a file, it is possible that some hardware storage issue or IO contention blocked your write on that file. The write on your output is the only thing that could block zerolog.

If you are using zerolog in the critical path, I would suggest to use a diode writer to make sure your log output performance does not impact your service.

This makes a lot of sense, I have applied your recommendation and will keep an eye out. Thanks a lot for the help!
