Issue/Introduction

Question:

 

Setting log/sinks is as the following.

[Base Settings]

Type  : syslog

Filters : Gateway log

Others…default

 

[Syslog Settings]

Protocol : TCP

Host    : {Gateway server}:{port}  (1 node)

Others…default

 

In the above case, 

What kind of operation does Gateway do when it can't be written in syslog( syslogd is down, Network Error, etc……)?

 

For example:

The logs are destroyed.

Or

When writing to syslog recovers, the total logs are reflected.

Or

Others.

 

 

Answer:

There is no queuing that maintains the syslog so it will be lost.

Also, Gateway supports Syslog failover.

We recommend setting of Syslog failover.
