Hi,
syslog-ng OSE has in-memory buffering only. The contents of the buffers will get lost when syslog-ng stops or reinitialises itself (when receiving a HUP signal for example). In contrast syslog-ng PE has persistent on-disk buffering in addition to avoid losing logs.
Can you confirm that a HUP will loose the buffers please? I was under the impression that a HUP *only* caused syslog-ng to close and reopen its source and destinations.
Well, I wrote this based on my partial (and unfortunately fading...) knowledge of syslog-ng so obviously I could be wrong :) Hopefully Bazsi will jump in and correct me when needed. Regards, Sandor
