[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng keeps the processor at 100%

3 Jul 2009

      Hello,
Does anyone has a clue why the processor is at 100 percent because of 
syslog-ng?

I have added in the syslog-ng.conf the folowing:

/source s_internal {
internal();
};
source s_local {
file ("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: "));
unix-stream ("/dev/log");
};

destination d_localfile { file ("/home/cosmin/syslog.log"); };
destination d_remote {udp ("192.168.53.248" port(514)); };
log { source(s_local);          destination(d_localfile); };
log { source(s_internal);       destination(d_localfile); };
log { source(s_local);          destination(d_remote);    };/

[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng keeps the processor at 100%
