Joe, I tried catting the whole file to a named pipe, and echoing one line at a time. Both methods do the same thing. Daniel On Mon, January 5, 2009 04:18, Fegan, Joe wrote:

Then I would guess that whatever method you are using to send the old log files to syslog-ng is stripping the newline characters, making it look like one gigantic message.

I have pushed that number to 90K, and get the same message, except the "log_msg_size=XXXX" changes to the what ever value the XXXX is set to in the log, and nothing is written the the database.

I am getting:

"syslog-ng[18859]: Message length overflow, line is split, log_msg_size=4096"

When I try to cat the log files to the named pipe. It repeats until it completes the lines in the log file.

This is on a base install on a Suse box.

the message above says that you have messages over 4096 bytes in length. increase log_msg_size().
