sometimes in the database i found this msg record
syslog-ng[6130]: Log statistics; dropped='pipe(/tmp/mysql.pipe)=0', processed='center(queued)=57298', processed='center(received)=57298', processed='destination(d_mysql)=57298', processed='source(src_firewall)=51537', processed='source(src)=5761'
I assume that this message advises that some logs are lost.
Why do you think any were lost? 57,298 came in, 57,298 went into d_mysql, 0 were dropped. Also, the inbounds were 57,537+5,761 = 57,298, so the sum of your two sources is equal to the number that went out the destination. Is there some external piece of data (such as a network trace proving that 100K msgs were sent, and 43% of them evaporated?) that I'm not cluing in on?
