runtime memory usage #11

Closed diwu1989 closed 8 years ago

diwu1989 commented 8 years ago

what is the runtime memory usage of this daemon if its left running for dozens of days? could there be a mechanism to run the log collection in a worker process and periodically respawn that process to make sure there's no long term memory leak?

Good question - it really depends on your logging volume. If your logging volume isn't huge (e.g. over 1000 lines/sec), typically the agent should use no more than 25-75 MB of RAM.

If you do log more than 1000 lines/sec, email support@logdna.com and we'll turn on a different transport mechanism rated for up to 100,000 lines/sec.
