On #AprilFoolsDay, I shared that #syslog_ng can reach 7 million EPS. This test lab result was in part possible thanks to a few #performance enhancements coming to syslog-ng version 4.12.

How 7 million EPS is possible? Learn more at:

Why "#syslog_ng can do 7 million EPS" was announced on #AprilFoolsDay? It is a completely valid result. However, it was measured not in a #production, but in a #laboratory environment.

So, it's an absolutely stunning result, just impossible in production.

My new toy: April 1 syslog-ng performance tests

Almost 15 years ago, Balabit had a campaign, stating that syslog-ng could process 650k messages a second. Now I am happy to present 7 million EPS (events per second). Timing the announcement to April 1 is not a coincidence :-) While the 650k EPS measurement was true, it was misleading. This value was measured right after syslog-ng 3.2 introduced multi-threading, in lab environment, under optimal circumstances, using synthetic log messages. However, there was no fine print explaining this, just the statement that syslog-ng could process 650k EPS.

For those who wondered, yes, the “news” about GIMP finally supporting EGA 16-colour mode was an April Fool joke, along with the new memory-efficient 0-bit coluor mode.
