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?
