Hi All,

I have a question about rsyslog configuration in a clustered environment.  
Currently we have two data centres and I was going to deploy a syslog server at 
both of these locations.  I was hoping also implement a "master" log server 
here in the office where we could easily view the logs from both locations in 
one place.  However, looking at the schema for Syslogs.SystemEvents, it's using 
ID as the primary key which is an auto_increment integer.  Obviously, this 
won't work.  I'm trying to avoid any code change as well.

I've noticed that syslog-ng have a commercial solution with the concept of a 
"relay" which basically concatenates the messages in the data centres and feeds 
into a master server.  Is it possible to configure rsyslog to behave in a 
similar fashion?

Failing that, I was thinking of using MySQL database replication whereby each 
data centre would have a different database name and could then replicate their 
databases to the master server.  However, is it possible to specify a failover 
MySQL server in the rsyslogd configuration?

I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who's implemented a similar 
solution.  Thanks for your time!

Regards,
Leigh
