[syslog-ng]Scaling for a central loghost ?

[Michael Arndt]

Hello *,

Question: does syslog-ng scale well on a central syslog_Server
          collecting  messages from about 200 unix hosts ?

I have read old threads about this issue and found infos about a fixed bug
and mention about one list member planning measurements with respect to
scaling / message dropping.

I am still a bit insecure:

Can the receive buffer in syslog-ng made large enough to handle
incomming syslog messages from about 200 hosts without
dropping messages ?

Can i take measures on client side (syslog-ng sender to avoid
that sent informations are dropped either client side or server side)

TIA
Micha
