Hi list,

based on customer questions I put together a brief article on what to
look at when optimizing a central syslog server. It is targeted towards
our products for obvious reasons, but I think it is generically enough
to be helpful in general. It is not about tweaking specific product
parameters but more general considerations like machine sizing and such.
So I thought I post it here:

log-server.asp

I know that the part about multithreading and multiple CPUs does NOT
apply to stock linux syslogd, because it is of single-threaded,
single-process nature. If I am not wrong, it applies to other *nix
syslogds, at least SDSC syslog.

Of course, comments are always appreciated ;)

Rainer
