We run 4 single CPU Sun Sparcs with hardware load balancing in front of that with logs of 1.4 to 1.9 million web log entries per day with an average log entry of about 350 bytes. Average uncompressed log file: 550Meg Originally, they wanted e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, including Cookies and the referring URL. This created syslog messages in excess of 1024 bytes and truncation of log entries happened. Now, the pipe to logger is preceeded by a pass through a sed script that weeds out some the state cookies (yes, we do that too) and backend process cookies that got quite large. Our backend syslog server is a P3 700 with 512M ram running OpenBSD 2.9.
