buffering in syslog-ng open source edition?

Hey, just doing a quick POC and wondering if syslog-ng open-source version supports local buffering if the centralized server goes down. If not, are there any projects where someone has added that functionality? Or how have people addressed HA issues.
Thanks,
Alok

No, there is no disk buffering in the open source edition.  I am not aware of any projects that have done this.

Thanks for the fast response. How about other HA solutions like an Active-Active or even Active-Passive model?

rsyslog has extensive support for buffering if sources go down. One of the project goals was to provide this feature as part of a truly open source solution.

For a comparison to syslog-ng see here:
