Disk based buffering for syslog-ng v3.2.4 OSE
Hello all. I would like to ask question to all. Has any one implemented a disk based buffering logic in syslog-ng? Since the log_disk_fifo_size has been deprecated, I am considering to implementing with other way. In the manual v3.2, I found couple of examples with flow control but none with the disk buffering. It would be helpful if anyone can share their thoughts about this. Thanks, Yu
Hi, disk based buffering (and therefore the log_disk_fifo_size option) is currently available only in the commercial version of syslog-ng, not in the OSE version. That's why there are no examples in the OSE manual. Regards, Robert On 06/21/2011 08:45 AM, Yu Watanabe wrote:

Thanks for the reply. I was aware of that , however, I was curious if anyone had implemented disk based buffering any alternate way. Like, using custom scripts. Thanks, Yu Fekete Robert さんは書きました:

Well, writing the logs into a file (as a buffer) and following the same file via the file source driver should work. It's of course less performance (all messages are written to disk), and rotation of the buffer file needs to be organized somehow. The disk buffering in PE is a circular buffer, which only gets used if need to be. -- Bazsi
