Hi,
Any idea why the tcp communication from rsyslog client to rsyslog
collector is persistent? I found for each selector rule it will have one
connection to the collector. The collector will have too many TCP
connections to handle. It will be a problem for large scale deployment.
Is there any way to configure so that the TCP connections will not be
persistent?
Thanks in advance
This is normal behavior to avoid the overhead of establishing the
connections for each message.
Why are you thinking that this is a problem? it should be simple enough to
allow tens of thousands of connections to a single machine. The ulimit on
your OS may default to something much lower, but that should be an easy
thing to change.
Yes, each connection eats a little memory, but compared to the overhead of
processing the logs from that many machines, it should be trivial.
I don't believe that there is any way to have it not keep the connection
open.
