Hi,
I don't really understand what means "dropped" in stats. I've done benchs and I didn't found any correlation between really dropped messages and the number in dropped stats.
DROPPED is the number of messages dropped by syslog-ng itself. It does not count messages dropped due to full socket buffers (as they are dropped by the kernel and not syslog-ng)
I'll give you more informations : Here are my bench's results : 20000 msgs sent 19873 msgs written (after kill -HUP) and my logs : [...] STATS: dropped 0 STATS: dropped 64 STATS: dropped 1994 STATS: dropped 2002 STATS: dropped 1871 STATS: dropped 1994 STATS: dropped 1998 STATS: dropped 1744 STATS: dropped 71 STATS: dropped 0 [...] That's why I said I didn't found any correlation between the 2 results ... Any idea ? Thanks, JM Loubet
