Hello,

we are using syslog-ng on our servers and we are quite satiesfied with it.
But there is still one question open for me: is there any kind of flood
protection like the old syslog has?
One stupid program got mad and flooded our logs until the harddisk was full.

I want to have the same as that:
Nov 18 15:58:56 tv2 user: allwaysthesame
Nov 18 15:58:56 tv2 last message repeated 137 times

No way to configure this behaviour?

Thanks,

Thomas
