SUMMARY: How many connection can I have to a tcp() source? 10? Why? I have been experiencing a problem with a syslog-ng (1.4.11) server seemingly only allowing 10 connections to a tcp() source. A quick tour of the code found the offending code at line 341 in afinet.c: self->super.max_connections = 10; Elsewhere in the file I see this (with code missing): if (c->num_connections >= c->max_connections) { #FAIL TO CONNECT }else{ #SUCCESSFULLY CONNECT } Unless this is not the code to handle tcp() sources, I think I've found what I need to change in order to fix this. My question is to Balazs, or anyone else with insight into the design of this daemon: Why is the limit set to 10? I want to change it, potentially to something very high (100 sounds about right for now), what impact is this going to have?
