Hi,

If I understand the question correctly the answer is: it can.

You have to be mindful of what will happen if the worst happen though, RAM/disk usage can become worst than loosing events if you configure that with no regards for the worst case failure mode. You can test that though... non-functional output config and you let it fill up... was the outcome acceptable? You see where I'm going I guess.
