Hi, We are currently evaluating Heka which sounds promising for handling our logs and metrics gathering and routing. If possible, we also target to use Heka on low power sensors servers which produces various metrics but have intermittent internet connection. These low power devices typically run on an ARM/Linux board (like a Raspberry PI) but would not be continuously connected to the Internet. They would have some type of modem - satellite, GSM, 3G, etc - that would either dial up an ISP occasionally to send all the data or use a permanent internet connection which is subject to regular failures.
So I was wondering if Heka would support (already supports or is planed to support) queuing up messages destined for an output (TCP) listener, eventually buffering messages to disk, then send them as soon as the connection is established again. Or do you know if some opensource "bridging" solutions (that could queue/buffer messages and send when online) already exist that I could create an Heka output plugin for? Or if developing this kind of feature in Heka core sounds valuable to you, I'd appreciate any guidance to help me get it right. Thanks, Bruno
