Configuring multithreading

Starting with version 3.6, AxoSyslog runs in multithreaded mode by default. You can enable multithreading in AxoSyslog using the following methods:

• Globally using the threaded(yes) option.

• Separately for selected sources or destinations using the flags("threaded") option.

Example: Enabling multithreading

To enable multithreading globally, use the threaded option:

   options {
        threaded(yes) ;
    };

To enable multithreading only for a selected source or destination, use the flags("threaded") option:

   source s_tcp_syslog {
        network(
            ip(127.0.0.1)
            port(1999)
            flags("syslog-protocol", "threaded")
        );
    };
