I would have to agree with that accessment, it would definately make my perl scripts more complicated. I guess that given the choice I would prefer the detail over the summarization. Probably should have spent a bit more time thinking about why exactly I wanted that feature.

I know this issue has been discussed before, but I never saw an answer other than 'syslog-ng doesnt do that'.

Perhaps someone could provide insight as to why syslog-ng doesnt aggregate messages received? Is this on a feature list for future releases?

Thanks for your time.

It might be implemented once I have time, though IMHO message aggregation makes log analysis more difficult, especially if you have multiple cascaded log relays. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Frequently asked questions at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
