Software version --------------- I'm testing this behavior on CentOS 6, if it's already fixed I can recompile and test a newer version:
# rpm -qa | grep rsyslog rsyslog-5.8.10-10.el6_6.x86_64 Step to reproduce --------------- Configured rsyslogd to forward logs to log1.example.com *.* @log1.example.com:514 Create a test log with logger command logger -t test RANDOM_STRING And I confirm it's received on the remote host by grepping the files. Then I change the DNS A record of log1.example.com to another IP, wait for TTL to expire, and confirm the IP has changed with dig command. If I execute the logger command again, the log is still sent to the old IP address. Conclusion --------------- rsyslogd would never update the IP address, unless I manually restart the rsyslog daemon. Is it by design? _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list https://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
