[syslog-ng] getting syslog stats without syslog-ng-ctl?

[Daniel Neubacher]

Hello there,
we are plotting and monitoring lot of data and for this I'm using a little bash script which does sum up the output of syslog-ng-ctl. But this is kind of slow with 17k lines to parse :P
Is there a way to get the stats directly without syslog-ng-ctl? My goal is to write a ruby script which only parse the stats i'm needing.

I'm no developer so please answer admin friendly :)
