I was migrating from syslog-ng-1.6 to a new version of syslog-ng in a veritas cluster. The original config file has >5000 lines and we want to keep it that way since it's Production. I got around it using syslog-ng-2.0 but 3.0 did not work due to this error. Thanks for the response. # mukarram From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Patrick H.

This is running version syslog-ng-3.0.8-1.rhel5.x86_64 Mailing list does not have any clues to it. Anything in the syslog-ng.conf file that needs to be done to accept more lines? Any ideas would be appreciated.
