Aren't you also not ensuring delivery when using remote syslogging in default mode? I believe this is all logged via UDP, so if the network or syslog host is overloaded your syslog messages will be silently dropped.
- bashtoni 13y agoThat's correct. rsyslog also supports TCP though.
- otterley 13y agoIn default mode, sure. But modern syslog daemons also support TCP transports. And both rsyslog and syslog-ng have commercial versions that buffer logs to disk (though double-buffering isn't necessary here where the source is a log file already on disk).
