alt Hacker NewsWhich major Linux distro ships rsyslog with TCP as the default remote protocol and durable local-buffer configuration out of the box for remote delivery? Genuinely curious.
A modicum of research reveals that even the rsyslog documentation starts out with UDP for remote delivery: https://docs.rsyslog.com/doc/getting_started/beginner_tutori...
"Beginner tutorial", I'm sorry for not taking your point seriously, but I can't take it seriously. TCP for syslog (and RELP) have been around a long time (late 90s for syslog over TCP, 2006 for RELP). rsyslog and syslog-ng support it all, and operators have had choices given the import of their log data and what they can tolerate.
