3. Is there any client limit on syslog-ng?
Nope, here isn't. Apart from OS limits, that is. Whatever those may be - but chances are, you're not gonna hit them anytime soon. ;)
Hope these answers make sense!
Isn't the default limit on concurrent incoming TCP connections 100? I seem to recall hitting that when swapping out syslogd for syslog-ng on a central log server last year.
There's a max-connections() source option, which defaults to 10, yes. But that can be increased, and then the limit is pretty much the kernel. (Just tried with 512 concurrent connections, with max-connections(1000), worked without a hitch).
the current fd limit might be a blockage after that, but that can also be tuned either with ulimit, or the --fd-limit (IIRC, but see --help-all) command line option. -- Bazsi
