Hi,

I am using disk buffer. There is limit when using memory or desk ?

I am using nxlog with graylog to forward log. For the disk buffer, the file never gets empty even after the connexion is back between nxlog and graylog?

Thanks

The buffer file gets deleted when the next one is created. Even if all events have been sent from the buffer file it might not get deleted. For performance reasons this is how it works.
