I have two DELL 2450 Server's, each with 2 1Ghz Processors, 2GB of RAM, and two pairs of 36GB mirrored drives on a PErc 3/si RAID Controller running RH 7.1 with a SMP Kernel
Question: Will I really get any additional performance from the extra processor using SYSLOG-NG?
Logging doesn't involve a whole lot of computing. It's all I/O (network and disk.)
SMP only helps when forking or threading.
syslog-ng uses a single thread and non-blocking i/o, adding additional processors if the box doesn't do anything else is wasted. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
