<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recently I am using syslog-ng’s docker container as syslog generator as the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">docker run -d \<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> --cpus=2 \<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> --name $name \<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> -v ${PWD}/syslog.log:/data/syslog.log \<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> --entrypoint="" \<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> --network=host \<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> balabit/syslog-ng:latest \<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> /usr/bin/loggen --dgram --inet --dont-parse --loop-reading --size 8192 --rate $rate --interval $duration --read-file /data/syslog.log $ip 514<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I found something interesting, if my syslog server stopped, the client syslog-ng containers stopped too.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I would like to know if syslog-ng detected the availability of the remote end? If so, how?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Besides, I didn’t see ICMP packets between the client and server using tcpdump.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Grant<o:p></o:p></p>
