Chuck and Sander thank you for responding and taking the time to provide
me feed back. This is encouraging news. That's quite the environment
you've got there Chuck. 3000 hosts! I will start with 400-500
and may end up with about 1000 in the end if all goes well. I am
going to setup syslog-ng in a test environment first and take it for a
spin. I'll probably be back with more specific questions later.
<p>Thanks again,
<br>George Horvath

been

<p>Upgrading is as easy as downloading and compiling the new binary and
pushing
<br>out to the central log hosts. The hosts reporting in still run the
regular
<br>syslogd for now.
<p>Stability has been very good. Although certain versions have had issues,
<br>Balazs has done a good job getting patches out quickly to improve
<br>stabilization.
<p>On one of our central log hosts, which has about 3000 hosts reporting
in, we
<br>did note performance issues which was a DNS caching issue that was
fixed. We
<br>also made our loghost DNS cache servers to further improve performance.
<p>Due to certain functionality requirements, we are using the 1.5.x release.
<br>Overall we are very happy with the product.
