Hello,

It was a firewall problem... There is a firewall between the server and the clients. The firewall breaks TCP connections after a specified idle time. That's why the clients re-establish the connections.

Would it possible to include TCP keepalive feature in syslog-ng? This way the server could check the established connections regurarly and tear down the broken ones.

It is included, but you need to explicitly enable it using the so_keepalive(yes) option. -- Bazsi
