<br>> Hi,
<br>>
<br>> I wanted to know if syslog-ng developers has some tools like mysqltuner
<br>> or just a shell scripts to check syslog-ng configuration and get some
<br>> recommendations on tuning?
<br>>
<br>> There is a lot of information about all the buffers/window sizes, etc.
<br>> and it's very complicated to set the proper values if I have a bunch of
<br>> different sources/destinations.
<br>>
<br>> For example if I'm using flow-control+multiple destinations it can stop
<br>> reading the source at any time and I have no idea when and why it's
<br>> happening and which value should I tune.
<br>
<br>I agree that it's too complicated, and I also pondered with the idea to automatically configure those, however I didn't have enough time to pursue it myself. (hint, I'd love a patch in this area!)
<br>
<br>In general, performance wise you want to increase stuff (log-fetch-limit, log-iw-size, flush-lines for file destinations), memory-use and reliability wise you want to decrease them.
<br>
<br>Also, you have to make sure that sum(log-iw-size) < log-fifo-size.<br></p>
