[syslog-ng] Disk based queuing with rsyslog?

[Delon Lee Di Lun]

Hi!

Let me clarify.
The purpose of disk based buffering is to prevent the lost of logs due to
what factors?
It does prevent lost of logs due to restarting the syslog-ng right?

Buffering is done on the syslog-ng server end right?

Yours Sincerely,
Delon Lee
