Measure throughput and events-per-second
Can someone provide some information or tips on how to measure the performance and usage of syslog-ng? I'm looking into purchasing some new hardware for my syslog-ng server and I want to be able to determine the average number of events-per-second/minute/etc as well as the average number of bytes written to disk per second/minute/etc. Any assistance provided is greatly appreciated.

You might check out the archives for the thread titled "incoming message stats" from April of this year (4/1/2005). Personally, I derive my after the fact numbers on events/[second|minute] statistics from the local timestamp in the archived logs, and since I use a dedicated log array (hardware RAID-0), I let iostat to track bytes/writes.
