The reconnect logic is broken in all the version's of the syslog api.<br>
The general consensus is that package is a mistake and should not be<br>

I think that may have been in an older version of Go. For example:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/8158001/">http://paste.ubuntu.com/8158001/</a><br>
<br>
will appear in syslog as:<br>

An example of log output streamed to all-machines.log using the syslog package:<br>

I have not looked at the reconnect part though.<br>
