>Hi, > >Re last Q about Logstash as the middleman - no, Logstash is more like >Rsyslog itself than Kafka. we currently use logstash and rsyslog...my thought was that since logstash has support for some outputs that rsyslog currently does not, could it bridge the gap? sure it's less efficient than going direct, but it might work as a stop-gap. logstash for example can receive syslog and output amqp, but as i'm still coming up to speed on kafka so maybe that wouldn't really work...but logstash was effectively designed as a swiss army knife to whittle just this sort of stick. i'll have to find time to play with this in a lab, but i still agree being able to use rsyslog as a kafka (or other broker) pipe has interesting use cases. >Very confusing territory with a TON of overlap between various tools. :) yep some times i feel things are moving so fast no one has time to actually do things well, just lots of half baked solutions fighting for buzzword dominance. :-) _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
