I raised issue on an existing bug on the github tracker, but it
seems to have gone unnoticed, so I'm repeating it here to try and
get some attention on the issue.<br>
<br>
Using multi-line-mode without the multi-line-suffix option WILL
result in message loss.<br>
When syslog-ng is running in multi-line-mode, it buffers
multi-line messages until it sees the start of a new message. When
it sees the start of a new message, it flushes the buffered
message, and puts the first line of the new message in the buffer.
However if syslog-ng shuts down, or receives a SIGHUP (reload),
any lines currently buffered are discarded. Given that syslog-ng
can't stay running forever, and it will get shut down or SIGHUPd
eventually, using this feature will result in messages getting
lost.<br>
<br>
The message on the github issue where I brought this up is: <a
