Information about disk-buffer files

This section describes information about disk-buffer files used in AxoSyslog.

The following list contains information about how disk-buffer files are used in AxoSyslog:

  • You can configure disk-buffer() for a remote destination in the destination() statement.

    For more information about an example of configuring disk-buffer() for a remote destination in the destination() statement, see disk-buffer().

  • By default, AxoSyslog creates disk-buffer files under /opt/syslog-ng/var directory, unless dir() option is set in disk-buffer().

  • The filenames are generated automatically by AxoSyslog with the extensions .qf for a normal disk-buffer and .rqf for a reliable disk-buffer.

  • The disk-buffer file stores processed log messages in the format in which they would have been sent out to the destination, but doesn’t store information about the destination.
