[syslog-ng] TCP / max-connections & flow-control

[Fekete Róbert]

Hi, 

yes, the connections are reused unless the client does not send new logs for a time (60 seconds by default).
This can be set on the server side using the time_reopen option:

When a client establishes a TCP connection to a host log server, does it reuse that connection for all subsequent log transmissions?  Does it have a threshold for destroying the connection and creating a new one if it does?
