JM, I am currently working on getting a syslog server up and working. In my testing, I have pointed most of my mail servers, about 8 of them, to my log server and I have not noticed any proformance hits. I am using an older Winchester raid array for my space for logs. I believe that is where most of the proformance issues will come from. Each of the mail servers are sending about 400megs of logs daily. I hae not noticed any problems so far. I am not using solaris as my OS, but an older dual P3, and my load averages not next to nothing. Drive speed will be the most important. Hope this helps --Keith .On Thu, 12 Jun 2003, Loubet Jean-Michel wrote: Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2003 17:33:24 +0200 From: Loubet Jean-Michel <JeanMichel.Loubet@atosorigin.com> Reply-To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: [syslog-ng]Calibration of the syslog-ng server Hi, I want to collect about 1500 hosts. I've estimated that it represents about 8 000 000 messages (1 Gb) daily. My syslog-ng server, which will be dedicated to this, will run on solaris 8. Have you got any idea about needed cpu number and memory ? Thanks for your answers.
