I'm surprised, but it looks like on an "average" day the SYSLOG generates 1.3 million lines.

This is just a curiosity question. "How many lines of SYSLOG output do you produce in an average day?" I just did a quick look at last week's SYSLOG and saw about 1.5 million lines for a 7 day period on two, rather small, systems. Why am I curious? From a previous thread on doing a "tail -f" on the z/OS SYSLOG. I got curious about how much overhead this would be. I was warned by some very knowledgeable people that it could be a truly massive number of messages, and thus have high overhead. Which is making me rethink a possible project that I am considering. -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
