[syslog-ng]question re: "STATS: dropped" errors

[Jef Elliott]

Hi,

	We have a system here running 1.6.4 (on debian linux, the stable 
disto), and it keeps griping about STATS: dropped > 0  (usually anywhere 
from 3 to 9). I've read through the archives, and see messages 
mentioning possible reasons for this, as well as some of the potential 
cures.

	I disabled the pipe for the xconsole, and that seems to have stopped 
the complaining. My question though relates to why this one system is 
the only complaining about this.

	I don't think that we have a syslog-ng server problem, as we have close 
to 80 systems logging to it. This is the only system that gives me this 
error. I don't think there are any local issues or services causing a 
problem, as this is a freshly imaged system, not running anything in 
particular, and not in production.

	What else could possibly be causing an issue on this one host? All 
other systems using syslog-ng have the exact same config file as this 
host and I'm at a loss as to what else could be causing the trouble.

	Any insights/links/help is appreciated. Thanks

	jef
