Hi, We are trying to strengthen our logging architecture (hundreds of clients, soon thousands). We currently have disk-assisted memory queues to deal with a temporary shortage of the central server. However this is good only for a "short" period of time. should the central server goes under for a "long" time the queues would fill up and ultimately the logs are lost and the production server are strained.
We would like to implement an automatic failover in case the central server is unreachable. At a glance, the $ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended seemed promising. However, after reading this post, http://blog.gerhards.net/2011/03/using-failover-and-asynchornous-actions.html I have got the feeling that I need direct queues for this to work. I have done a few tests which seem to confirm that. I can't have both disk-assisted memory queues and $ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended Can someone confirm my statement ? If so, I am afraid that there is no way to implement remote logging with failover from the client in a real world. Disk-assisted memory queues are mandatory to avoid to slow down the client when there is a tcp hitch (a network issue for example). Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
