hello I use syslog-ng and it sends log in a local Mysql database via pipe and I have this syslog.conf options { flush_lines(0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (off); use_dns (yes); dns_cache(yes); dns_cache_size(2000); use_fqdn (yes); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (yes); time_reopen (10); }; source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); }; source src_firewall { file ("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("firewall: ")); }; filter firewal_filter { match("REJECT"); }; destination d_mysql { pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe" template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, date, time, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL','$TAG', '$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY', '$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n") template-escape(yes)); }; log { source(src); destination(d_mysql); }; log { source(src_firewall); destination(d_mysql); }; sometimes in the database i found this msg record syslog-ng[6130]: Log statistics; dropped='pipe(/tmp/mysql.pipe)=0', processed='center(queued)=57298', processed='center(received)=57298', processed='destination(d_mysql)=57298', processed='source(src_firewall)=51537', processed='source(src)=5761' I assume that this message advises that some logs are lost. I register the messages only local and that messages that i register include firewall's messages. It is possible solve this problem, which configuration I could use to solve this problem? tanks a lot Luigi
