CirrostratusLogging f5 impact
Hi everyone, Does anyone can tell that restarting the syslog-ng dont have service impact?
Also in addition if I configure remote syslogs does f5 will consume much resources on this?

Vijith_182946Hi, I think you should be very careful dealing with syslog. The syslog-ng utility may cause high CPU utilization You can check the CPU utilization of syslog-ng process using the following command:
ps aux | grep syslog-ng
if showing more than 90% please be watchful. You might lose the logs during the restart period.
cheers,
NathGreat thanks for your response, but how about restarting the syslog-ng? Does it have a service impact?- Vijith_182946When syslog-ng not running, it wont generate system logs.
- NathYes understand that part Vijith, I mean does restarting syslog-ng will interrupt any traffic that is currently flowing to my bigip?
