hi everybody,

we are using a central log (debian sarge) server running syslog-ng. all the hosts logging to the log server are running syslog-ng as well. does anybody know wheter syslog-ng on the hosts is able to buffer log messages to the local disk in case the logging server is not available?

no, it is using an in-memory buffer for this purpose only. the size of this buffer can be controlled using log_fifo_size() on a per-destination or on a global basis. -- Bazsi
