Howdy, I'm trying to setup a load balanced system with several web servers and one central log server. Currently I have syslog-ng running and pipe the output form apache to logger. This is all running locally on one box. However, syslog-ng just randomly hangs and apache stop processing requests. I can restart apache and it still does not respond, but i can just restart syslog-ng and then it all starts working again. Is syslog-ng designed to handle this kinda of load, around 3 million entries a day? I have been googling for hours and can only find some comments about log_fifo_size and reap_time in the options section? here is my current config, if that helps any options { sync (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (off); use_dns (no); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (yes); }; destination d_http_access { file("/var/log/HTTP/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY.accesslog" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(\ yes)); }; destination d_http_search { file("/var/log/HTTP/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY.searchlog" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(\ yes)); }; destination d_http_error { file("/var/log/HTTP/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY.errorlog" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(ye\ s)); }; filter f_http_access { match("APACHE_ACCESS_LOG") and not match("test.html"); }; filter f_http_search { match("APACHE_ACCESS_LOG") and match("/content/search"); }; filter f_http_error { match("APACHE_ERR_LOG"); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_http_access); destination(d_http_access); }; #Log httpd search access logs log { source(s_sys); filter(f_http_search); destination(d_http_search); }; #Log httpd error logs log { source(s_sys); filter(f_http_error); destination(d_http_error); }; ###################################################3 httpd.conf log line CustomLog "|/usr/bin/logger -p local0.info -t APACHE_ACCESS_LOG" tracking
