I know this should be fairly obvious, I guess the question is _why_ did syslog-ng miss some messages and do I do about it? On some 13.2 systems, I see this quite a lot, on e.g. 12.3 hardly ever.
The literal but unhelpful answer is that syslog protocol uses UDP, which has no guarantee of delivery. The Yes-no-maybe depends on a few other things. If you are logging to the "same machine" over a UNIX-socket that's one thing, if you are punting over to another machine then who knows what might be going on. You do say "forwarding". The "quite a lot" may even be an issue of how things are configured.
