Round Robin

Post by BanditBBS »

I know this was mentioned in either Scott's or Ethan's talk, but I just can't remember!

I am setting up my F5 to round robin the web browsing for log server instances. Can we also use that for sending logs or do logs all get sent to only one of the nodes?

You absolutely can (and likely should) use the round robin to send log as well.

As long as you have made your config changes just using the default "Global" configs and not per-instance, any of your instances can receive any of the log events.

Thanks Scott. We'll be adding the second node this week and after finally logging more than just the log server's own syslog, I can comfortably say we'll be ordering it.

Awesome, do you have any other follow-up questions on that note? Or are we good to lock this up.
