Dear Sirs.
I have been having a lot of messages in log file for last time:

So, I want to ask the community about typical value of this parameter, the reason of lack of socket and where I can increase this value (100) for resolving this problem.
source s_local { unix-stream("/dev/log" max_connections(1000)); }; The number of required connections greatly depend on your local configuration. Basically each logging process need one connection to /dev/log, though fd inheritance may decrease this number. (parent process opens connection, child inherits and uses the fd) -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
