I'm looking for the best way to put my rsyslog servers behind a VIP for TCP & UDP traffic.
It appears that the best solution thus far at least for TCP is fault tolerant setup with port probing. I have tried a VIP load balance/round-robin configuration but it takes a while for the syslog/rsyslog client to start logging to the surviving rsyslog server when I bring one down. As for UDP I'm not having good results at all and I'm starting to wonder if the best solution would be to have a static VIP IP where I use CLUSTERIP configuration on my systems where the failover occurs over the virtual network interface. Any suggestions is appreciated. Here is my configuration: syslog/rsyslog client ->->->-> VIP ->->->-> rsyslog_server1, rsyslog_server2 VIP options: 1) fault tolerant w/port probing 2) load balance/round robin 3) static IP (multicast) utilizing CLUSTERIP option. I prefer the load balance configuration for data center HA. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
