Hi all, Could you please tell me what can happen if the destination tcp driver is unavailable ? I made the test with a wrong IP address in destination on my machine running syslog-ng, my software generates messages every minutes, and these messages are redirected to the destination tcp driver. The only think I saw is that in /var/adm/messages logs, the following message was repeated every 4 minutes or so ... Oct 11 10:26:39 met-ixb syslog-ng[216]: Error connecting to remote host AF_INET(192.168.192.168:514), reattempting in 10 seconds Is there any risk for my machine if the destination tcp driver is no longer available ? Will there be any buffer over size or something like that ? Or ressources over load ? Thanks a lot Ali
