Hi, we have a in-house written tools to read journal log and write it to a log file, on some of the machines, it failed to run with the following error:
failed to read message field: 74
I think I know that it's due to some log entry from journald that was not correctly parsed/recognized by sdjournal module, this error seems coming from journal.go in sdjournal module, can anyone please help to identify on how to find out the log entry that cause this failure

You are using an ancient version of this library. #308 was merged more than three years ago to provide better error messages for those cases.

Anyway it looks like you are getting a -EBADMSG from sd_journal_enumerate_data, which according to the manpage may be due to a corrupted journal.

I don't think this is a library bug, so I'm closing this. If you find otherwise, feel free to followup directly here.
