[syslog-ng]STATS: dropped 0

[Dave Johnson]

Angel,

not sure if I fully understand your question, but maybe this helps? :

1) I think the default for syslog-ng to do stats is like 10 minutes,
we changed it to do stats every hour in "options { stats (3600); };"
2) We didn't want this message filling up our console buffers of our
terminal servers for machines and forcing important information off
the screen, so we filtered this out for the console.  We still wanted
to keep the other internal generated messages like startups and
restarts:
filter f_intnotSTATS { not match("STATS: dropped"); };
log { source(int); filter (f_intnotSTATS); destination(console); };

----------

So in a nutshell, you can change the time in options for "stats" and
you can filter it by regex and take it out of source internal.
