By forwarding I mean reliable, disk-buffered forwarding. This only exists in the commercial "Premium Edition" of syslog-ng.

There is disk based buffering in NXLog CE. You might want to check it out with respect to the other woes you have with rsyslog.

Never heard of that one, thanks.

... which I highly recommend until you outgrow it and graduate to Kafka.

On the other hand, it's pricy and last I checked, licensing is based on the number of machines (ridiculous in a cloud environment).
