Multithreading and scaling

Configure multithreaded processing of sources and destinations, and tune AxoSyslog performance to scale across multiple CPU cores.

Starting with version 3.3, AxoSyslog can process sources and destinations in multithreaded mode to scale to multiple CPUs or cores for increased performance. Starting with version 3.6, this multithreaded mode is the default.
