We run an environment with 350+ actual servers, and three compute clusters
with relay servers and one relay server for all of our networking
devices (100's there too).

We deploy specific version of syslog-ng on specific versions of the OS.
As long as there are no problems, we don't upgrade.

So, we still run 2.0 on some boxes (abound 100 hosts)
These hosts will not be upgraded as they are scheduled for decommission,
or will just become obsolete.


We run 3.0 on the majority (250) and this group will probably be upgraded
to 3.3 in the near future (3 months) after our in house testing is satisfactory.

We run 3.3 on our central servers and latest OS (about 20 hosts).
On the central syslog servers we moved to 3.3 to get the latest patterndb features.

We are eagerly looking forward to the junction feature.

Hope it helps.
