I have many HA environments available for testing
What I am doing right now is to just run rsyslog normally on each system
and move the IP address, but it would be nice to have service checking.

Christian,
would you also be available for some tests *if* I find time to look into the
HA specific calls? I don't have an environment yet and it would probably take
me too long to set one up for a quick test. No promise thought that I can
implement the support quickly, depends on what else is going on...

Hi,
Thank you all for you help and suggestions, I will do some tests and
let you know how works for me.
Regards,
Christian

One interesting twist to deal with, when a system is not active, it
probably
still wants to send it's logs somewhere.
two ways of addresssing this
1. two configs, switching between active and passive changes which
config
you use
2. two instances, one used by the local box to send it's logs, the
other to
receive logs from elsewhere.

take a look at linux-ha
It's a framework to manage HA (including active/active load
sharing,
quorums, etc)
it extends the traditional init.d startup scripts to also include
a
'status' call to tell if the service is active or not. the
framework
calls
this service periodically and if the service fails, it does a
failover.
With the correct configuration (and software), it can do sub-
second
failover.

David and all,
are you aware of any high availability APIs that would enable
rsyslog
to do
some kind of automatic failover in a cluster environment? I have
never
specifically programmed for that and wonder if there are any
options.

depending on how active your logging is, you could watch the
logs
and
say
that if you don't receive any logs for 1 min (or whatever time
is
approprate), somthing is wrong.
you could also generate known UDP logs to yourself and alert if
they
don't
show up.

Hi,
I have a small question, I would need to setup an rsyslog
receiver/forwarder, listening on udp port, since some clients,
only
support this option. I would need this service to be highly
available(I don't want to have two machines and having
duplicated
information), but since this udp, I can't be for sure if the
service
is running fine. What I thought is to indirectly check it, by
having
another port listening on tcp and checking the tcp service, if
the
service is not running on tcp I would assume the whole system
is
down
and would failover to the other instance of the cluster, that's
the
only way I could think of, do you currently have another way?
thank you very much,
Regards,
Christian
