Threads¶

Sets the number of helper threads that pull data off the network.

This parameter applies to imptcp: Plain TCP Syslog.

Name:: Threads
Scope:: module
Type:: integer
Default:: module=2
Required?:: no
Introduced:: at least 5.x, possibly earlier

Description¶

Number of helper worker threads to process incoming messages. These threads are utilized to pull data off the network. On a busy system, additional helper threads (but not more than there are CPUs/Cores) can help improving performance. The default value is two, which means there is a default thread count of three (the main input thread plus two helpers). The maximum number of worker threads is bound only by system resources (CPU, memory).

Module usage¶

module(load="imptcp" threads="...")
