[syslog-ng]Calibration of the syslog-ng server

[Keith Olmstead]

JM,

I am currently working on getting a syslog server up and working.  In my testing, I have pointed most of my mail servers, about 8 of them, to my log server and I have not noticed any proformance hits.  I am using an older Winchester raid array for my space for logs.  I believe that is where most of the proformance issues will come from.

Each of the mail servers are sending about 400megs of logs daily.  I hae not noticed any problems so far.  I am not using solaris as my OS, but an older dual P3, and my load averages not next to nothing.  Drive speed will be the most important.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I want to collect about 1500 hosts.
I've estimated that it represents about  8 000 000 messages (1 Gb) daily.

My syslog-ng server, which will be dedicated to this, will run on solaris 8.

Have you got any idea about needed cpu number and memory ?

Thanks for your answers.

JM Loubet
