Hello
I'm trying some stuff with syslog-ng 1.9.9. Is it possible to start the syslog-ng daemon when one of the remote hosts to which messages have to be send is not reachable? it seems not to be the case, but my config might be a little bit too thin...
I have two destinations for my logs, one is on the local disk, the other is a host in the network. It seems that when the host is not available syslog-ng won't start, although it should better start logging to the local disk.
What happens when the remote host connection gets broken while syslog-ng is running?
Hm.. syslog-ng should behave exactly what you described, e.g. it should start up and continue connecting to the remote host.
I've just checked it myself and it works.
And what if the remote host is not within a reachable network at the moment syslog-ng starts? pieter
