It would be, but it's kinda beyond my skill with MySQL to make it efficient, and beyond my skill to parse syslog in the way I'd want it to be done. :)

We are currently testing Graylog2 on dedicated hardware. Our Observium instance wasn’t able to take the extra load and IO.
Would be nice to integrate the Syslog and Observium servers…

With that huge amount of logs, you might require a dedicated server (or more) for logging. I have been testing ELMA, which is a complete Linux distribution (based on Suse) that has very similar components to what Joseph described.

Thanks!
I am not aware of a way to integrate it with Observium though which is rather unfortunate as that's the primary reason of not wanting to go with something like splunk,etc.
Maybe I am missing something?

You really want to use the “ELK” based logging with a scale-out infrastructure for this volume.

Hi Everyone,
We are considering the possibility of using Observium's syslog capability to handle the syslog output of 50 machines which will be spitting out roughly 300K lines of log per hour for a grand total in the ball park 360,000,000 log entries per 24 hours.
Has anyone used/attempted to handle this volume of logging with Observium in the past? If so, would you mind sharing your experience?
I am also looking for feedback on hardware suggestions for both the Observium machine as well for the standalone database server.
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks,
-Lane
