Hi folks,I am preparing a setup for a logforwarder host, which will receive logs via udp and send it via relp protocol to two other hosts. All works fine except the "worst-case" when one or two receiver-hosts is down / not available. I can configure each queue to save the logs to disk, but if the two receiver-hosts aren't available I get the double disk space. We have a lot of log entries and we want to reduce the disk usage. So my question, it is possible to reduce the size of the outgoing queues and configure the main_queue to hold these logsentries or save them to disk?
yes, you can configure the main queue to be disk assisted, and you can also configure a queue on a ruleset that contains the two forwarding rules so that local messages aren't delayed.
look at the queue() object for parameters for the main queue (v7+ required, it may be possible on earlier versions, but you really want to be running a current version on a forwarder like this)
It seems that the incoming and outgoing queues are loosely coupled and so I lose a lot of log entries. I fear that this does not work. Am I right?
I'm not sure what you mean by this statement, please clarify. David Lang
