busy syslog server

[Tom Greaser]

Hello all.. 
I asked a while back if anyone had a heavy loaded syslog server 
and asked if they used a filesystem other than ext3 .. 
 
well i fixed my own issue.. i changed over to syslog-ng.. 
 
system stats went from 
 
load average: 1.99, 1.99, 1.99 
and iostat 
avg-cpu:  %user   %nice    %sys %iowait   %idle 
           0.72    0.02    0.36   46.19   52.71 
 
to 0 load average and iowait to less than 1% 
avg-cpu:  %user   %nice    %sys %iowait   %idle 
           0.40    0.00    0.75    0.21   98.64
