[syslog-ng]syslog-ng's matching vs a perl-regex match

[Seth Vidal]

Hi all,
 I am using syslog-ng version 1.4.12 on red hat linux 7.1. I have been 
doing some matches to get certain events out of my logs and have certain 
programs react to them.
 I was wondering if it would be faster to pipe ALL output to a perl script 
and have it do its own regex matching.

I'm not sure how fast syslog-ng's matching is and if I take a performance 
hit by using it.


thanks
