IMHO, for high-load TCP, rebindinterval is counter-productive, because you need to establish a new connection each time. But yes, this parameter exists.

Load balancing is very dependent on nature of your load, on your bottlenecks, and so on. Why do you want to balance TCP connections?

What are recommendations for use of rsyslog with loadbalancers? We have setup where number of machines run rsyslog and forward syslog messages to central location using RELP protocol (using omrelp module).

The central location is a load balancer with cluster of machines behind it (that run rsyslog and use imrelp).

I assume this is not an uncommon scenario so hoping that there is a way to do this in a way that does load balancing.

The problem is that TCP connection stays open for a long time so there is effectively no load balancing done. Looking for a solution I found http://www.rsyslog.com/load-balancing-for-rsyslog/ which mentions RebindInterval which is documented in omfwd docs http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/omfwd.html

However I don't see RebindInterval in omrelp docs http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/omrelp.html and when I try to use it rsyslog segfaults (in relpCltHintBurstEnd in librelp.so.0, also sent email specifically about that).

Should RebindInterval work for omrelp? Or is there some other way to re-open TCP connection so that load balancing works?

  Thanks!
