Hi, When talking about the $CHUKWA_HOME/conf/collectors file, the admin guide says this:
"Agents will pick a random collector from this list to try sending to, and will fail-over to another listed collector on error." What happens though in the case where there is only one collector configured? Will the agent continue to try the same collector? How many times will the agent retry before giving up? My use case is that we're looking to put a load balancer in front of our collectors, so my collectors file will contain only one entry. If a request fails, I'd like it to try again up to a certain point. I know the load balancer approach is counter to intent of the agent/collector design, but in our case managing active collector nodes via a load balancer is a lot easier that managing them in the configs of all of our agents. thanks, Bill
