Re: [syslog-ng] Config file size and performance

I'm configuring syslog-ng for use on a central log server, processing logs from 60 busy syslog clients, and I've realised that without hostname macro expansion in the config file I'm going to end up with a file >600 lines long. Is this likely to cause performance problems with syslog-ng when it's trying to compare each syslog packet against this kind of filter/action list, and has anyone else used it in a similar environment?

Parsing is not a problem, it's only done at startup. But having a large number of "log" statement may degrade performance a bit. The message routing part in syslog-ng is not optimized yet. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt
