[syslog-ng] Statistics -- how do I turn them off?

[Sandor Geller]

I'm filtering statistical messages based on the internal source and
the following regexp:

filter f_internal_statistics {
    match("^syslog-ng\[[[:digit:]]+\]: STATS") or match
("^syslog-ng\[[[:digit:]]+\]: Log statistics");
};

(for 3.x only the latter match is needed)

600 seconds is the default setting, the timer gets activated only when
stats_freq > 0 so stats_freq(0) should turn off  the generation of
statistical messages completely. Are the logs generated on the same
host or are you processing remote logs as well?
