I also had that issue, but when using rsyslogd and using TCP for transport instead of UDP I wasn't able to see any dropped packets. To my experience it's not syslog dropping the packets, but UDP packets which get lost due to buffers being full at the kernel. # Sent all message to the remote syslog machine, then discard them to prevent local logging # Use TCP (@@) for transmission to prevent packet loss :rawmsg,contains,"osd." @@loghost & ~ :rawmsg,contains,"mon." @@loghost & ~ :rawmsg,contains,"mds." @@loghost & ~ Wido > > regards, > Colin > > > > > > > Thanks, > > -- > > cc > > > > -- > > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in > > the body of a message to [email protected] > > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in > the body of a message to [email protected] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
