Hi, Currently we're logging everything to text files for a few LAN clients. We're considering using a database instead and have a few questions to help us decide:
* Would a database be a good option to replace existing text files for long term storage considering storage space? * Would mongo OR mysql be better suited for storing system logs?
I understand answers to these questions can vary depending on specific use case but seeking a general recommendation to see what's typically being used and what the most stable/supported options would be.
Why don't you test it yourself by logging to *both* text files (as you do now) and a database? That would get you some data to compare, and what's best about it - that would be your data, your use-cases, etc. HTH, Jakub. -- Jakub Jankowski|shasta@toxcorp.com|http://toxcorp.com/ GPG: FCBF F03D 9ADB B768 8B92 BB52 0341 9037 A875 942D
