Load Balanced Output Config


#1 FormerSplunk

Trying to configure the NXLog forwarder to load balance it's output stream. I tried creating 2 output stanzas out1 and out2 with the appropriate IPs and then routed as Path   eventlog => out1, out2.

This seemed to clone the output stream as logs were going to both receivers. What would be the proper way to tell NXLog to use one IP if available, else another IP?

There is no built-in support for HA in NXLog yet. You can use external tools for that.
