I log messages to a remote server. But what happens if that server is not reachable? Is there a way to implement a failover to second server? There's nothing built in to syslog-ng for this, you'd have to build something yourself.
Well, when TCP is used to transfer the remote logs, shouldn't it be rather easy to build some failover code into syslog-ng? I imagine that some option for tcp in the syslog-ng.conf would be the way to do it: destination remote_tcp1 { tcp("loghost1" failover(remote_tcp2)); }; destination remote_tcp2 { tcp("loghost2"); }; And perhaps if remote_tcp2 / loghost2 can't be reached failover to a local log... Is any of this planed? Otherwise, I might look into that - although I don't know if I have the time for this right now. bye Joxn -- || //\\ \\// |\\|| :: joxn@vernum.com :: \\|| \\// //\\ ||\\| :: 8053703 ::
