Ved, Balazs posted this message about the logging every second in the 1.5.9 dev release. As 1.5.9 is a development version, some things are unfinished, but the link below should point you in the right direction to changing the frequency of the STATS: messages :). I would imagine this will be made into a configuration knob when either balazs or someone else gets time to add the patch.. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=syslog-ng&m=99898987009711&w=2 -----Original Message----- From: ved [mailto:ved@netmadeira.com] Sent: Thursday, 30 August 2001 8:02 AM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: [syslog-ng]logs get filled by "STATS: dropped 0" ? I'm looking to change from my normal syslogd to syslog-ng but when i start it, it writes this message: syslog-ng[13668]: STATS: dropped 0 every second... so my logs increase in size very rapidly, how can i stop this or what is causing it?
