Hi, I'm having high RAM consuming problems using both amqp or kafka destinations. I'm using patterndb (without any context definition) some basic filters. Changing the destination to "file" or "program" type, the high RAM problem doesn't happen. I tested these backends only in this version of syslog-ng and I don't know if it is a version specific problem. The backends are up and running and receiving correctly from syslog-ng. Here are my configurations: destination d_amqp { amqp( vhost("/email_log") host("127.0.0.1") port(5672) exchange("maillog") username("maillog") password("maillog") disk-buffer( mem-buf-size(10000) disk-buf-size(2000000) reliable(yes) dir("/tmp/disk-buffer") ) exchange-type("fanout") routing-key("") persistent(yes) value-pairs( scope("nv-pairs") ) ); }; destination d_kafka { kafka( bootstrap-servers("127.0.0.1:9092") topic("MYTOPIC") ); }; I added the disk-buffer option to see if it gets any better, but without any good result; Here the syslog-ng-ctl output, when configured to amqp: [root@logserver3 conf.d]# syslog-ng-ctl stats SourceName;SourceId;SourceInstance;State;Type;Number global;payload_reallocs;;a;processed;3635299 src.journald;s_sys#0;journal;a;processed;542 src.journald;s_sys#0;journal;a;stamp;1566648214 global;sdata_updates;;a;processed;0 global;scratch_buffers_bytes;;a;queued;512 source;s_host;;a;processed;5440633 destination;d_boot;;a;processed;0 destination;d_kern;;a;processed;9 source;s_sys;;a;processed;612 dst.amqp;d_amqp#0;amqp,/email_log,127.0.0.1,5672,maillog,fanout;a;dropped;0 dst.amqp;d_amqp#0;amqp,/email_log,127.0.0.1,5672,maillog,fanout;a;processed;2691676 dst.amqp;d_amqp#0;amqp,/email_log,127.0.0.1,5672,maillog,fanout;a;queued;0 dst.amqp;d_amqp#0;amqp,/email_log,127.0.0.1,5672,maillog,fanout;a;written;2691676 src.internal;s_sys#1;;a;processed;70 src.internal;s_sys#1;;a;stamp;1566648339 global;msg_clones;;a;processed;2691634 global;internal_queue_length;;a;processed;0 destination;d_spol;;a;processed;0 destination;d_mlal;;a;processed;0 center;;received;a;processed;5441245 destination;d_mesg;;a;processed;531 destination;d_mail;;a;processed;0 destination;d_auth;;a;processed;29 destination;d_cron;;a;processed;52 destination;d_amqp;;a;processed;2691676 global;scratch_buffers_count;;a;queued;5970004541496 center;;queued;a;processed;2692297 Thanks in advance.
