I have written a program that optimizes log writting. Here are the Features:
Logger is a gpl licensed linux utility to take control of system logs. features include:
* Ability to handle logs over 2 gigs.
* Automatic nightly log rotation without effecting any services dependent on it.
* Perforamce increase in software logging to Logger. High log usage software like Apache, Exim, and Squid show dramatic improvement.
* Any application that writes a log can be maintained be Logger (including syslogd).
* Light, small, and fast.
* Emphasizes security.
* Reduces drive usage through memory queueing. On my system, my log drive temperature dropped from 125 deg. (F) to 95 deg (F). This also makes available the option of spinning down the hard drive to conserve power (a must for laptops).
Please check it out and let me know what you think. The URL is:
freshmeat.net/projects/slogger [freshmeat.net/projects/slogger]
Thank you. |

| | Tabmow | Oct 20, 2007 12:11am | | It makes me wonder if the root of your problem comes from logging levels being set too high if they work like apache log4j (possibly logging coded at too low of a setting), but I may be in for a shock after some enterprise software goes live at work next month, and end up using your slogger... The performance boost might make it well worth use regardless. |

Log levels do have a lot to do with it. Also the number of applications making logs has a hugh impact.
Performance is just a small part of the server, logs are worth gold especially when things go wrong. Having a way to send logs to another machine is a major plus for tracking problems, especially if you have more then one machine to watch and track. |
