Hi
I'm using syslog-ng for quite a while now and finally want to resolve this problem (I suppose)... I pretty much daily get a whole bunch of dropped messages... It's not always at the same times but always for several hours! I'm logging the stats hourly so usually for about 8h a day I get drops in the hundreds....?
I guess this isn't normal and shouldn't be as my system isn't really busy at all...
what kind of destinations do you use? the DROP count in STATS reports messages dropped _within_ syslog-ng and affects only pipe and tcp destinations.
maybe you have an xconsole not being able to process messages at the required rate?
Thanks for that hint There was the pipe to xconsole activated which I suppose I dont need as I dont run any X on that server... I disabled it and didn't get any drops since... Thanks Matt
