      Why is my syslog-ng disk-buffer file so huge even when it is empty?

      Peter Czanik
      Peter Czanik
      Most people expect to see how many log messages are waiting in the disk-buffer from the size of the syslog-ng disk-buffer file.. While it was mostly true for earlier syslog-ng releases, for recent syslog-ng releases (3.34+) the disk-buffer file can s…

      Peter Czanik
      Peter Czanik
