Yes the syslog feed off the xserve is most likely UDP based and it will just continue to stream syslog messages to the unresponsive destination. There may or may not be a way to setup a backup syslog server in the Xserve admin functions.

If the Syslog-NG server goes down, will the Xserve continuously retry to send the logs until the Syslog-NG server is available? _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Frequently asked questions at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
