Subject: [Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#1110329: syslog-ng-core: default config
 spews 1.2KB of stats to logs every second
Message-ID: <175422310962.4172.9708855199066830311.reportbug@shenstone.ab8.net>

Package: syslog-ng-core
Version: 4.8.1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

With the default configuration, syslog-ng writes a very long line of stats
every second to two log files. This builds up to rather large log files of the
order of 700MB over a week.

Jul 20 07:45:06 <hostname> syslog-ng[2065]: Log statistics; processed='destination(d_mail)=0', processed='destination(d_cron)=606', processed='destination(d_error)=7930', processed='destination(d_uucp)=0', processed='global(payload_reallocs)=808524', processed='center(received)=412347', dropped='global(internal_source)=0', processed='global(internal_source)=396261', queued='global(internal_source)=0', processed='destination(d_daemon)=9280', processed='destination(d_messages)=396436', processed='destination(d_newserr)=0', processed='destination(d_debug)=3718', processed='destination(d_newscrit)=0', processed='center(queued)=842093', processed='destination(d_console)=6', processed='destination(d_kern)=125', processed='destination(d_user)=57', queued='global(scratch_buffers_bytes)=0', processed='source(s_src)=412347', processed='destination(d_syslog)=406329', processed='global(msg_clones)=0', processed='global(sdata_updates)=0', processed='destination(d_lpr)=0', stamp='src.internal(s_src#2)=1752993905', processed='destination(d_console_all)=7944', processed='destination(d_xconsole)=7944', processed='src.internal(s_src#2)=396261', processed='destination(d_newsnotice)=0', processed='destination(d_auth)=1718', queued='global(scratch_buffers_count)=2'

I don't think this is an appropriate default! I suggest turning this off with
stats(freq(0));

Thanks,

Andrew
