You have a lot of log() statements however I can't see right now why syslog-ng is eating so much CPU time. Can you do some kind of profiling? (oprofile with syslog-ng debug symbols, or easier compiling syslog-ng with -pg and processing gmon.out with gprof)? On Thu, 2004-09-02 at 14:22, west@x-dot.ch wrote:
Hallo
I have replaced the original syslog with syslog-ng. everything works fine. the only problem I have is that syslog-ng uses between 50% and 70% of the cpu. I think that it is a configuration problem because the old syslogd never uses more than 10% of the cpu.
thank you for your help stefan
here are my configuration files:
