You can check the log file with fuser or lsof and determine which process is keeping the file open.
Other then that, you will have to login to your app/db/system and determine what is going on and how it is configured to log.
There could be various reasons such as :
Missing disk space.
Files removed with rm while process is attached (you will not see the file anymore, but the process is still writing in it and taking up space until you restart it).
Inode exhaustion (rare on modern filesystems, limits are quite high).
Wrong files/log cleanup (badly configured logrotate and such).
etc.
What is 'expected log update?'. Can you elaborate on this ?
suppose you have a production server. and the /var/log/messages file typically gets updated quite frequently. but all of a sudden, its being updated now every 5 minutes, when before, hardly 30 seconds can go by without it being updated. what would this type of scenario be telling you?
and this is just an example. /var/log/messages can be any log file (application, database, network, system)

git::repository::plugin::log
Git::Repository::Plugin::Log(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Git::Repository::Plugin::Log(3pm)
NAME
Git::Repository::Plugin::Log - Add a log() method to Git::Repository
SYNOPSIS
# load the plugin
use Git::Repository 'Log';
my $r = Git::Repository->new();
# get all log objects
my @logs = $r->log(qw( --since=yesterday ));
# get an iterator
my $iter = $r->log(qw( --since=yesterday ));
while ( my $log = $iter->next() ) {
...;
}
DESCRIPTION
This module adds a new method to "Git::Repository".
METHOD
log( @args )
Run "git log" with the given arguments.
In scalar context, returns a "Git::Repository::Log::Iterator" object, which can return "Git::Repository::Log" objects on demand.
In list context, returns the full list "Git::Repository::Log" objects. Note that this can be very memory-intensive.
See Git::Repository::Log::Iterator's documentation for details about how parameters are handled.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many thanks to Aristotle Pagaltzis who requested a "log()" method in the first place, and for very interesting conversations on the topic.
