hello, I use syslog-ng (syslog-ng-1.4.17) and try to do some benchmarks with it. I've some problems for tuning it. The load average of syslog is more than 10.0 on a bi PIII 860 on a linux box decreasing to 2.0. My test is 50 clients simultaneously (using syslog() system call) with 500 logs per second during 5 minutes. Here is the option i use: options { use_dns(no); long_hostnames(off); sync(100); log_fifo_size(5000); gc_idle_threshold(50);gc_busy_threshold(5000); }; source src { unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(100)); internal(); udp(); }; Is there a different parameter to use for not increasing so much the load avg ? Thanks in advance. -- Luc.Mazardo@cvf.fr
