how to write log data to disk when the server is down while using rsyslog

[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I have configured rsyslog in two systems. I made one of them as client and the other as server by modifying their configuration files. Now the problem is that I am not able to write the log data of the client to its disk space while the server is down.

How can I make this problem solved.

You need to place a disk-persisting queue before the action. This is commented out in the sample rsyslog.conf. Have a look here:

Also, this article may help you understand what is going on. It is focussed on database writes, but the concepts are the same for forwarding:
