[syslog-ng] Quick Questions

[Patrick H.]

1) What? Asynchronous/synchronous communication is a term used to 
describe 2 way communication over physical medium. Syslog-ng message 
relaying is one way and over tcp or udp.

2) Yes syslog-ng will send the unsent messages. You need the premium 
version for this feature.

3) You can use vpn tunnels or some other type of tunnel for this. 
Syslog-ng does not have any built-in transport encryption.

4) If youre asking are messages forwarded to remote syslog-ng server as 
soon as theyre received, it can be configured this way yes. Or it can 
buffer them and send in bursts.
