Hi Every one,

We have sent log traffic to Rsyslog on TCP port 514.

It is configured to forward log traffic to Logtash at TCP port 520. However
it sent a burst of logs to logtash which misses a lot of data. The burst of
logs is mentioned below. However if we send log traffic at UDP port 514,
every thing is ok. Its a dummy traffic generated via LOIC.

Please guide.
