[syslog-ng] max-connections(1000)

[Josu Lazkano]

Hello, thanks for your help.

I check my syslog file and this is what I get with max-connections(10):

Jul 15 12:54:17 s_all at logserver syslog-ng[20780]: Number of allowed concurrent connections exceeded; num='10', max='10'

I just change to max-connections(500) and it works great.

I will read more about ulimit option.

Best regards.

Yep, that's why I mentioned it in brackets only, and suggested ulimit as
the primary means of achieving the goal ;)
