[syslog-ng] disk based buffering

[thejaguar at tutanota.de]

Hi,I have been using disk based buffering with reliable turned on yes as suggested here :-https://www.balabit.com/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin/html/configuring-diskbuffer-reliable.html

This has been working great for me on an embedded linux device which does not have internet connection except when the application running on it turns on the modem/pppd when it has to send some data, basically to save battery power. Now  syslog-ng is brilliant and sends all the stored/queued  logs immediately upon detecting network connection as long as system stays alive. Now the challenge is if the device has a system reset or kernel crash in between network connection availability, will syslog-ng send unsent logs upon next system reboot when it gets the network connection ? Or it resets the queue and tracking upon system reset/boot ?I noticed any logs generated  in between power resets and which are not sent are not transmitted  on next net connection.  Is it expected behaviour ? If not then what wrong I am doing ? also how can I read whats in  /var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-00000.rqf  or syslog-ng.persist ?
