Hi Clayton,<br>
<br>
the failover time is steered by the time_reopen() global option (60
sec by default), so setting it to a much lower value should do the
trick.<br>
<br>
From the admin guide:<br>
"To list several failover servers, separate the address of the
servers with comma. The time syslog-ng PE waits for the a server
before switching to the next failover server is set in the <em><code>time_reopen()</code></em> option. For
details about how client-side failover works, see <a href="http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-pe-v4.0-guide-admin-en.html/index.html-single.html#concepts_failover" title="2.15. Client-side failover" target="_blank">Section 2.15, Client-side
failover</a>."<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-pe-v4.0-guide-admin-en.html/index.html-single.html#example-failover-server-tcp" target="_blank">http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-pe-v4.0-guide-admin-en.html/index.html-single.html#example-failover-server-tcp</a><br>
<br>
I assume that the TCP connection breakdown is detected by syslog-ng
in a timely manner, pls correct me if I misunderstood the problem.<br>

<div>My question: Is there a way to tune this parameter down to 15
seconds in the config?</div>
