Hello, according my notice about the memory problems with syslog-ng I have tested again with the actual stable version og syslog-ng. My Configuration is SuSE Linux 7.1 on Compaq Computer, 164MB RAM, 20GB Harddisk, syslog-ng 1.4.15, libol 0.2.23. Eight other Computers (Linux and WinNT 4.0/my modified ntsyslog) send their Information to the Log-Server. After about 23 to 32 hours running syslog-ng the Linux operating system kills the syslog-ng demon with a memory allocation error. The free memory is down to about 10MB. The memory used b syslog-ng was not released. I am using the following syslog-ng.conf: # Konfigurationsdatei fuer syslgd-ng # RB 020827 options { sync(0); keep_hostname(yes); long_hostnames(off); use_dns(yes); }; source s_default { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); }; destination d_messages { file("/logfiles/clients/$HOST/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY.$FACILITY.$PRIORITY" create_dirs(yes) ); }; log { source(s_default); destination(d_messages); }; What is wrong?
