Just a note - using TCP logging is dangerous. If the syslog server hangs, clients may block writing to the socket and your whole infrastructure will lock up.

- zobzu 14y agoHmm, shouldn't this be alleviated with RELP [1]? (which the author suggest you use). Because, otherwise, since AFAIK rsyslog doesn't support DTLS it means unencrypted log transmission. (For RELP it also means running stunnel anyways, which supports DTLS, and may be a solution) [1]: http://www.librelp.com/ http://www.librelp.com/
