The problem is that datagram is just another way of saying UDP, and it doesn't detect that the message wasn't received, so if the system that's supposed to be receiving it is down, the message just gets lost.

Sent by:        [email protected]



Hi Everyone!

I have installed snare (open source free version ) in windows 2008 Server.
I configured snare to send logs to rsyslog and rsyslog is writing logs in
a
file for testing. Windows server is very busy server. Problem is that
rsyslog stop receiving logs from snare for couple of minutes some time one
hour. When we restart rsyslog service it start receiving logs. Logs of
windows server generated in that time are missed from rsyslog. Please
guide
me in this issue.
