Hi, Although the feature of not retrying destination file reopens in 1.6.x seems to be nice, in fact it is a bug :) I don't intend to fix that though.
In 1.9.x I already added an option called 'optional' on a per-source/per-destination basis. This means that initialization problems on that specific source/destination does not cause syslog-ng to fail startup. I extended this now for file/pipe destinations: if a file/pipe destination is optional, a failure to open a destination file is reported, but no further attempt to open the same file will happen for time_reopen() seconds. E.g. if time_reopen() is 60 seconds, you'll get one failure every minute. The fix will be included in tomorrow's snapshot at the BalaBit website. -- Bazsi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
