Hi,
I am wondering if syslog-ng handles network interuptions.. Basicly if I have a syslog-ng installation in a remote office that logs to a central syslog-ng server at the main office, and for some reason the remote office disapears from the face of the earth (internet), does syslog-ng cache the syslog messages it recives so that when the internet connectivity appears again it will send the messages it recived during the down peroid?
What if syslog-ng dies for any reason (power failure etc..) during that period, does it store the logmessages it has in cache on disk so when it comes back up it can start feeding the main server with the logs?
syslog-ng has an in-memory queue for messages, the size of this queue can be controlled with the log_fifo_size configuration option. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
