[Bug 186] New: resettable stats
https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=186 Summary: resettable stats Product: syslog-ng Version: 3.4.x Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: unspecified Component: syslog-ng AssignedTo: bazsi@balabit.hu ReportedBy: szaki@balabit.hu Type of the Report: --- Estimated Hours: 0.0 According to https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2011-October/017457.html It would be a good idea to be able to reset the statistic, when needed, without full restart, or any magic like altering the config a bit and reload. So I suggest the enable_stats_reset(yes) default option, for sources and destinations (everywhere are statcounters defined), and the syslog-ng-ctl reset-stats command - to reset the statistic where the enable_stats_reset(yes) option allows this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I'm not against the syslog-ng-ctl reset-stats idea though, just the separate option. It might even make sense to make it possible to specify which counter should be reset, so that it is not an all-or-nothing operation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
