Behaviour with unavailable TCP destination
Hello, I was wondering what happens when you define a tcp() destination in syslog-ng.conf and then the destination is temporarily not available. I was not able to find the answer in the docs. Are any messages lost? Or are they kept somewhere and sent again when the destination becomes available again? Thank you. -- 01
Yes, syslog-ng continuously tries to connect to the server and sends messages to the server buffered until that point. On Jul 17, 2015 12:31 PM, "ZeroUno" <zerozerounouno@gmail.com> wrote:
