<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
it is quite easy, all that syslog-ng-ctl does is that it writes "STATS\n" into the syslog-ng control socket and displays the result. I'm not familiar with ruby, but I assume that basic Unix domain socket read/write is not that hard to do with it. With the use
of netcat you can check that<br>

<div style="direction:ltr;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">Hello there,
<div>we are plotting and monitoring lot of data and for this I'm using a little bash script which does sum up the output of syslog-ng-ctl. But this is kind of slow with 17k lines to parse :P</div>
<div>Is there a way to get the stats directly without syslog-ng-ctl? My goal is to write a ruby script which only parse the stats i'm needing. </div>

<div>I'm no developer so please answer admin friendly :)</div>
