<br>
</div>Indeed, 1.6 is ancient.<br>
<div class=""><br>
> 1. How many number of times the connection is retried.<br>
<br>
</div>It is retried every time_reopen() seconds until it succeeds, or<br>
syslog-ng is stopped.<br>
<div class=""><br>
> 2. when exactly the connection retry happens (when will it get to know when<br>
> it has to retry)<br>
<br>
</div>The retry happens after syslog-ng disconnected (and syslog-ng<br>
disconnects when it notices a network error, usually during a write() or<br>
a poll()), after time_reopen() seconds have passed.<br>
<div class=""><br>
> 3. time_reopen(40), what exactly is 40seconds here.<br>
<br>
</div>The 40 seconds here is the time spent with the destination suspended<br>
after an error, before trying to reconnect again.<br>
<br>
Hope that answers your questions!<br>
