Well to be honest.. I have only used syslog-ng over any of the replacements out there. I found a webpage listing the replacements: http://www.loganalysis.org/sections/syslog/syslog-replacements/ Please correct me if I am wrong, but there are 3 parts to what Sopwith is asking: 1) Better API? [This would seem to require changes in LOTS of applications, glibc, and kernel to deal with this better API.] From my readings in the last month on this.. I dont think any of the syslog authors would say that the current API couldnt use a complete overhaul. 2) Able to replace what is currently there. 3) Able to handle the increased loads that people are wanting... I am guessing that the current tools need a testing to see what would meet those needs. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
