Hi Here is an update on the interval in writing to the log file: the output of ls -l on the file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6234 Dec 26 08:03 switch-01.log and the last messsege coming in on the NIC (captured by tcpdump): 12:56:57.564348 IP switch-01.1024 > syslog.hot.net.il.syslog: UDP, length 75 As you can see the time interval is almost 5 hours... :-( TIA Paolo --- Nate Campi <nate@campin.net> wrote:

Thanx Nate. But for some reason sync doesn't do it in my configuration. I have the following global section in my
configuration:
options { sync (0); time_reopen (1); log_fifo_size (999999); long_hostnames (yes); use_dns (yes); dns_cache(yes); dns_cache_size(1000); dns_cache_expire(604800); use_fqdn (yes); create_dirs (yes); keep_hostname (yes); }; and still messages are written in delay to the files:
What kind of delay are we talking about here? I'd think that the only remaining cause of delay isn't syslog-ng but the OS and/or your C libraries, but maybe something weird is going on. -- Nate
