Yes, syslog-ng continuously tries to connect to the server and sends messages to the server buffered until that point.

Hello,
I was wondering what happens when you define a tcp() destination in
syslog-ng.conf and then the destination is temporarily not available.
I was not able to find the answer in the docs.

Are any messages lost?
Or are they kept somewhere and sent again when the destination becomes
available again?

Thank you.
