Write does not fail when input is turned off. #33

If my input is turned off to where fluentd is sending the chunks, fluentd doesn't retry the chunks and anyways if using buf_file, the file is deleted after flush_interval. I am assuming fluentd doen't mark the write as failed in this case and deletes the buffer file.

Can you try using TCP to connect to Graylog? (protocol tcp)

UDP is stateless (fire and forget) so there isn't any error checking to see if a GELF packet was received or not.

yes, ultimately figured it out. Indeed udp wont work.

Thanks :)
