[syslog-ng] Disk-buffer in kafka-destinations

[Peter Kokai (pkokai)]

Hello,

Every destination has a queue by default memory, and it is possible to replace with disk based buffer. If that does not work that is probably a bug.
Could you please write the version of syslog-ng you are using ?
Do you use the java or the C based kafka destination ?

Please include the config and error.
