Performance statistics/measurements of nxLog on Windows


#1 J_Grieb

Are there any numbers about how nxLog performs when it is processing a high rate of messages being placed into a log file?

Right now we have a couple of incidents which resulted in a few thousand messages being logged per second.

I assume this is more than nxLog can handle but am wondering about any performance testing that has been run

im_file input should be quite performant but please note that the number of events it can process depends on a lot of factors:

  1. Type of input module usued
  2. Hardware/VM spec
  3. Processing rules (message rewrite, regexp usage, filtering, etc)
  4. Output side

Event if there is a burst of events it should be able to catch up and process those without loosing data after things come back to normal .
