[syslog-ng]Loads of STATS: dropped > 0 messages

[MH - Entwicklung]

Hello out there,

I get loads of STATS: dropped: >0 and don't know why.


I've got syslog-ng running on a central log host.
Each host also has syslog-ng running.
syslog-ng ist configured to use tcp instead of udp.

In syslog-ng.conf I have right at the moment:

=09options { long_hostnames(off); sync(10); log_fifo_size(1000);

Playing around with sync and log_fifo_size doesn't change anything.

syslog-ng is 1.6.0rc4 from Debian Testing.

Has anybody any idea about this?

Best Regards
Manfred
