ah, sorry I misread that. Ok, I've added max-connections(1000) to the unix-stream() source. Hopefully that will take care of it. -h Hari Sekhon Balazs Scheidler wrote:

I'm getting the following on a host that is sending logs to a remote central logserver:

syslog-ng[2390]: Error accepting AF_UNIX connection, opened connections: 100, max: 100

Why is this happening? It isn't accepting logs, it's only sending them. And I also increased the remote logserver's max to 100 with the following line

source s_tcp { tcp( port(<someport>) max-connections(1000)); };

For a start, I don't have 100 hosts logging to the remote logserver. Second, this host isn't the logserver so it shouldn't have this in it's /var/log/messages!!!!

syslog-ng clearly states that it is AF_UNIX connection, thus it is /dev/log that it complains about.

You probably have more than 100 processes writing /dev/log.
