anyway, you can find out what happens by tcpdumping the network interface and looking for RST packets.
Thanks Bazsi! will do. The only connection is to another machine also running syslog-ng. Any hints on what might cause it to reset the connection. There is not a huge load being forwarded — order of tens of logs/sec.
Oh, I see. These are incoming connection not outgoing ones! That makes more sense. I had not realised that that many of our boxes were using tcp to send stuff to our loghost. Now I have a handle on this I will follow it up. R
