ELB between firehose and syslog server #157

Closed rauizab closed 7 years ago

rauizab commented 7 years ago

Hi

There is this ticket https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/firehose-to-syslog/issues/103 but was not answered. We are having the same problem. What should be our approach? Can we set up somehow firehose to create a new connection if the old connection is gone? Our use case is that our syslog server is duplicated and if one dies the second one becomes the active. There is an ELB in front of then.

Best regards

Hi @rauizab, in the current implementation I see no reason to use ELB, I suggest to configure deployment in the next way: collocate Logstash and firehose-to-syslog jobs on one instance and configure firehose-to-syslog to send messages to localhost syslog ednpoint.

Hi

Ok, I understand the approach. Thanks for the hint.

Best regards
