[rsyslog] Development of failsafe disk based queue

[David Ecker]

Hi,

I am looking for a failsafe solution to store syslog messages localy
until they could be send later. I already looked at the disk based
memory queue and the disk based queue. Both queue's don't work if you
just power down the system immediatly actually loosing the whole queue.
I already looked at queue.c and it seemed to me that both queues were
not designed for that kind of failure, but I could be wrong there. Since
an immediate power down of the system is the major failure which will
occure pretty often I need to create a soltution there.

Did you already start to develop something addressing that problem?
Could you help me extend rsyslog (3.18.4) so that I can develop a new
queue myself? I would contribute the code to the rsyslog project if you
would like afterwards.

bye
