I am running syslog-ng 3.6.4 and I have the following destination and log path configured that forwards all messages to the destination:

destination remote {

network("remote.example.com" port(514) transport(tcp) log_fifo_size(2048));

};

log { source(s_all); destination(remote); flags(flow-control);};

When the system reboots, I see that startup messages from the kernel are logged into /var/log/syslog.

syslog-ng establishes a connection to the remote destination around 10 sec after the first message was logged into /var/log/syslog. However, it fails to forward any message that was logged into /var/log/syslog during the first 10 seconds even though I have the output buffer and flow control configured.

Is this a bug in syslog-ng or am I missing some configuration steps?

Thanks,
