Hello! We are trying to use syslog-ng to log messages from several servers. We get quite a few "dropped" messages from syslog-ng saying between 70 and 290 are being dropped each time. According to the list, it sounds like we need to increase out UDP receive buffer size.
If syslog-ng reports dropped messages in itself, increasing UDP receive buffer will not help, as syslog-ng itself has already pulled the message. Message drops within syslog-ng might happen because one or more of the destinations process messages slower than the sources. If you only have file destinations then increasing log_fifo_size() might help. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
