# BufferingAppenderSkeleton.Lossy Property

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the appender is lossy.

[Visual Basic]
Public Property Lossy As Boolean
[C#]
public bool Lossy {get; set;}

#### Property Value

`true` if the appender is lossy, otherwise `false`. The default is `false`.

#### Remarks

This appender uses a buffer to store logging events before delivering them. A triggering event causes the whole buffer to be send to the remote sink. If the buffer overruns before a triggering event then logging events could be lost. Set Lossy to `false` to prevent logging events from being lost.

If Lossy is set to `true` then an Evaluator must be specified.
