Hi again, A quick followup to my last post: On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 3:21 PM, Joe Shaw <joe@joeshaw.org> wrote:
I'm trying to use the follow_freq() option to tail a growing log file, but not all of the messages are making it from the source end to the destination end. However, according to the statistics, no messages are dropped. I am using syslog-ng 2.0.9.
I changed follow_freq() in the source to be measured in milliseconds rather than full seconds and set the frequency to 50ms. The outcome is considerably better, but still missing some data: [jshaw@source-host /ita]$ wc -l dump-file 9982973 dump-file versus: [jshaw@dest-host /ita]$ wc -l syslog-messages 9263853 syslog-messages syslog-messages is actually bigger than dump-file now, but that's because of the syslog headers prepended to the lines. The number of lines above is still short. I'll try lowering the interval even further and seeing if it gets closer. Joe
