Anyone running 2.0rc1 on Solaris 9 (sparc)? If so, what memory requirements are you seeing for the syslog-ng process?
My install handles ~ 700 messages/sec (all UDP) and over the course of a day syslog-ng will gradually consume nearly all available free memory (I've seen it up to 1GB).
(syslog-ng is bounced by logrotate daily, so the process repeats itself) I was able to substantially decrease the rate of consumption by adding the 'flush_lines" global (syslog-ng process now at 91MB and growing ... slowly).
This definitely seems to be some kind of memory leak. Can you post a configuration file that reproduces the problem? Hopefully it is a leak in syslog-ng itself and not in one of the system libraries. -- Bazsi
