[lug] Performance Issues with syslog Shell Interface?

[George Sexton]

Unless you have a large amount of debugging code present it should not
be much of a hit. After startup, only exceptions are logged to this
file.

Subject: [lug] Performance Issues with syslog Shell Interface?


We are running Apache Tomcat on Redhat 7.3.  The startup script, by
default, pipes all output (standard out and error) to a file called
"catalina.out":

	java <class name> >> catalina.out 2>&1

I would like this output to instead go to syslog (using the "local7"
facility):

	java <class name> 2>&1 | logger -p local7.info -t "[tomcat]"

Can anyone tell me if and how this change might affect performance?

Thanks,
Dhruva
