It hardly ever existed. It is fairly trivial if you are familiar with
keepalived or any other clustering suite. But you need to arrange checks
around your rsyslogs to detect every possible failure. Those checks will
strongly depend on your setup.
If the only failure to be considered is full shutdown or disconnection
of a server, then you do not need to configure anything special for
rsyslog in keepalived. Then, you can use any howto on keepalived.

Hello all,
I was curious if you happen to know of any documentation to configure
keepalived with rsyslog?

Is there a way rsyslog can prefix the host name how you mentioned, I
was reading about the DynaFile, woudl I need to create a template and
append below text to it?
/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/%programname%.log
if you are already using Dynafile you can do:
/var/log/%hostname%/%$myhostname%-%programename%.log
this way the two servers writing to disk will write to different files.

yes.
note that if you have two programs writing to the same file on NFS, you
will
have headaches, so do something like prefixing the filename with the
hostname of the server writing them.

Subject: Re: [rsyslog] redundant rsyslog
Oh ok, and just set up the same rsyslog configuration on both servers
right?

you would setup rsyslog on both machines, then install something like
pacemaker or keepalived and assign the cluster a third IP address that

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to ask your input in what would be the best way to have
redundancy/failover for rsyslog,
I have two available servers that rsyslog can be installed into them.
I would like to be able to have both servers listening to messages
coming in from either a single ip or a pool of ips.
I would like them to be configured in an active/passive configuration
where if one server malfunctions the second server will take over and
keep logging.
Does rsyslog have the capability to do fail over?
Robert
