Perhaps someone could provide insight as to why syslog-ng doesnt aggregate messages received? Is this on a feature list for future releases?
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.
Balazs, I read the manpage, Googled and grepped the source and I believe I know the answer, but I'd like to have your confirmation. Is it still the case that syslog-ng does no message aggregation?

PS: I also found this about not aggregating messages if the output is a pipe http://lists.hellug.gr/pipermail/linux-greek-users/2007-April/068169.html

As far as I know, I never programmed anything like this until now. -- Bazsi
