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.
Yes, although not locally. (at least I can't think of a reason why it should).
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".
It's a systemd term for passing messages to syslog.
The "quite a lot" may even be an issue of how things are configured. Are the config files identical in every respect?
Almost certainly, yes. At least for the bits that matter. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
