Hi,

Could you please tell me how to check under load mysql silently drop records. And could you please tell me what is the solution for this problem?

Look forward your timely help would be highly appreciated!!!



Thanks
Riaz Ahmed

Wow, I should have looked more closely at your config before I added my comments.

You don't need a fallback because you are not filtering your s_network source.
You are using a mysql database as your back end. This complicates things greatly.

I recommend using a file destination to ensure you are getting everything that you expect.
Only then would I  (not me actually) be comfortable with storing the data into mysql.

Under load I have seen mysql silently drop records. No errors of any kind in front or backend
of the database services. you couldn't pay me to use mysql :-(
