All, I am trying to redirect a log file from an NFS mount (AIX server = source and Redhat server = target). The redirect is going to a LogLogic device over UDP, and I am seeing quite a few dropped packets in /var/log/messages. Samples below: Aug 31 07:34:16 lxfwossecp3 syslog-ng[30574]: syslog-ng starting up; version='2.1.4' Aug 31 07:44:16 lxfwossecp3 syslog-ng[30574]: Log statistics; dropped='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0', processed='center(queued)=15', processed='center(received)=15', processed='destination(d_messages)=11', processed='destination(d_boot)=0', pro cessed='destination(d_auth)=2', processed='destination(d_cron)=1', processed='destination(d_mlal)=0', processed='destination(d_kern)=0', processed='destination(d_mesg)=1', processed='destination(d_cons)=0', processed='destination(d_spol)= 0', processed='destination(d_mail)=0', processed='source(s_sys)=4', processed='source(s_file)=11', suppressed='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0' Aug 31 07:54:16 lxfwossecp3 syslog-ng[30574]: Log statistics; dropped='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0', processed='center(queued)=17', processed='center(received)=17', processed='destination(d_messages)=11', processed='destination(d_boot)=0', pro cessed='destination(d_auth)=2', processed='destination(d_cron)=2', processed='destination(d_mlal)=0', processed='destination(d_kern)=0', processed='destination(d_mesg)=2', processed='destination(d_cons)=0', processed='destination(d_spol)= 0', processed='destination(d_mail)=0', processed='source(s_sys)=6', processed='source(s_file)=11', suppressed='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0' Aug 31 08:04:16 lxfwossecp3 syslog-ng[30574]: Log statistics; dropped='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0', processed='center(queued)=20', processed='center(received)=20', processed='destination(d_messages)=11', processed='destination(d_boot)=0', pro cessed='destination(d_auth)=2', processed='destination(d_cron)=4', processed='destination(d_mlal)=0', processed='destination(d_kern)=0', processed='destination(d_mesg)=3', processed='destination(d_cons)=0', processed='destination(d_spol)= 0', processed='destination(d_mail)=0', processed='source(s_sys)=9', processed='source(s_file)=11', suppressed='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0' Aug 31 08:14:16 lxfwossecp3 syslog-ng[30574]: Log statistics; dropped='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0', processed='center(queued)=22', processed='center(received)=22', processed='destination(d_messages)=11', processed='destination(d_boot)=0', pro cessed='destination(d_auth)=2', processed='destination(d_cron)=5', processed='destination(d_mlal)=0', processed='destination(d_kern)=0', processed='destination(d_mesg)=4', processed='destination(d_cons)=0', processed='destination(d_spol)= 0', processed='destination(d_mail)=0', processed='source(s_sys)=11', processed='source(s_file)=11', suppressed='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0' Aug 31 08:24:16 lxfwossecp3 syslog-ng[30574]: Log statistics; dropped='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0', processed='center(queued)=28', processed='center(received)=28', processed='destination(d_messages)=11', processed='destination(d_boot)=0', pro cessed='destination(d_auth)=6', processed='destination(d_cron)=6', processed='destination(d_mlal)=0', processed='destination(d_kern)=0', processed='destination(d_mesg)=5', processed='destination(d_cons)=0', processed='destination(d_spol)= 0', processed='destination(d_mail)=0', processed='source(s_sys)=17', processed='source(s_file)=11', suppressed='udp(10.13.33.11:514)=0' Here is what my syslog-ng.conf file looks like: # syslog-ng configuration file. # # This should behave pretty much like the original syslog on RedHat.

Could the NFS link be an issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jamie
