All,
I am trying to redirect a log file from an NFS mount (AIX server = source and Redhat server = target). The redirect is going to a LogLogic device over UDP, and I am seeing quite a few dropped packets in /var/log/messages. Samples below:
Aug 31 07:34:16 lxfwossecp3 syslog-ng[30574]: syslog-ng starting up; version='2.1.4'
Aug 31 07:44:16 lxfwossecp3 syslog-ng[30574]: Log statistics; dropped='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0', processed='center(queued)=15', processed='center(received)=15', processed='destination(d_messages)=11', processed='destination(d_boot)=0', processed='destination(d_auth)=2', processed='destination(d_cron)=1', processed='destination(d_mlal)=0', processed='destination(d_kern)=0', processed='destination(d_mesg)=1', processed='destination(d_cons)=0', processed='destination(d_spol)= 0', processed='destination(d_mail)=0', processed='source(s_sys)=4', processed='source(s_file)=11', suppressed='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0'
May I ask the *second* time why do you think there were dropped messages at all? Do you have any evidence or you just misunderstood the meaning of the above statistical message? Regards, Sandor
