i noticed yesterday that syslog-ng won't log to anything in a destination() section if
one of them fails.
we have a remote logging machine colocated somewhere...here is its config(just the useful stuff)
destination macrogenerateddaily {
tcp(208.210.124.50 port(514));
file("/var/log/ng/$HOST/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY/$FACILITY.$PRIORITY" dir_per
m(0755) perm(0644));
};
destination macrogeneratedhourly {
tcp(208.210.124.50 port(514));
file("/var/log/ng/$HOST/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY/$FACILITY.$PRIORITY.$HOUR" d
ir_perm(0755) perm(0644));
};
now....we lost internet connectivity (so the tcp link failed)
unfortunately, it also stopped logging to the disk.
does it log to destinations, then just die as soon as one fails?
