Hello everybody, we face a problem with our log-server at our department since the last few weeks. Previously there was no problem concerning this log-server but now we get messages like syslog-ng[...] STATS: dropped 38142 or sometimes even more. How can we avoid these dropped messages? Or how can we influence the number of dropped messages? Or why are messages dropped? Since the syslog protocol is based on UDP we can not really avoid that some packets are dropped if many of them arrive at nearly the same time, or is there a solution. Thanks for an answer.
