Re^3: Big hairy ugly log sorting merging problem

Actually, there are modules (in the Apache as well as Perl sense of the word) to dump logs to a database instead of a file.

Depending on the amount of traffic you get, using them may or may not be wise.

Well, hundreds of megs per month for several virtual hosts... I think this sounds like more of a gut-feeling hardware requirement issue. I know that I wouldn't trust my off-the-cuff guess. I suppose I could profile individual insertions and make a judgement based on hit rate... Has anyone seen any performance numbers or hardware suggestions?	[reply]
