Re: [PERFORM] postgresql and syslog
we have actually gone the opposite way and switched to using syslog for logging purposes some time ago, with no performance issues. syslog files are easily read by a lot of applications out there. We have been using rsyslog for aggregating logs from multiple servers, splunk for analysis purposes and pgfouine for routine reports. I would be very surprised if logging had a significant overhead any method you choose. there's probably something very wrong with your setup if this is the case. just another dimension, Michael

Either something very wrong, or the load is extremely high. In the latter case perhaps it would make sense to ship syslog to a remote machine. Since it uses UDP sockets, it wouldn't block when overloaded but rather lose messages (besides, it means it has low overhead). -- Alvaro Herrerahttp://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
[PERFORM] postgresql and syslog
Hi, I am using postgresql 8.3 with FreeBSD. FreeBSD is using syslog by default for postgresql logs. I would like to disable syslog in postgresql.conf. Does this change increase the performance? What is the impact of using syslog on postgresql performance? Thanks. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
