How many messages per second can syslog-ng handle? Does anyone have any number. Lets suppose, I have a 16GB RAM, 8 core 2.5Ghz box.
That depends on a lot of things. If you have a single source, a single destination and no filtering or rewriting, that'll be reasonably fast, but will use only one core. However, since this simple forwarding is not CPU intensive, your bottleneck won't be the CPU. (most likely the end point will be, especially if its a disk) If you do filtering or rewriting, that can slow things down considerably. Using multiple sources or destinations also affects performance in various ways. Therefore, unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to your question, as it depends on a whole lot of variables. -- |8]
