Hi
I'm using syslog-ng for quite a while now and finally want to resolve this problem (I suppose)... I pretty much daily get a whole bunch of dropped messages... It's not always at the same times but always for several hours! I'm logging the stats hourly so usually for about 8h a day I get drops in the hundreds....?
I guess this isn't normal and shouldn't be as my system isn't really busy at all...
what kind of destinations do you use? the DROP count in STATS reports messages dropped _within_ syslog-ng and affects only pipe and tcp destinations. maybe you have an xconsole not being able to process messages at the required rate? -- Bazsi
