I'd simply forward from two remote rsyslogs to a central one using RELP and not bother with NFS and such. The upside is that you can scale this easily to other non-local installation (it's way easier to add another RELP source than to export your NFS to some external site).

Hi.

I have a single rsyslog server (on cloud) receiving logs from a number of 
systems (also in cloud). I am planning to add a second server and use NFS cloud 
storage as the backend. This storage will be shared across the two syslog 
systems.

At the moment, the single rsyslog system receives around 380.000 messages per 
minute and stores them on local disk.

The reason for opting NFS shared storage is that logs from systems will be on 
one location instead of two. For example, without shared storage and due to 
load balancing, Monday logs from serverA can be found in rsyslog1 server and 
Tuesday logs for same server can be on rsyslog2 server.

However, I am thinking about the performance of NFS and the (negative) impact 
that it could cause on rsyslog. I am concerned about:


   *   NFS deadlocks
   *   behaviour when two rsyslog processes write to same file
   *   encryption and network delay of NFS backend
   *   rotation of files


Has anyone implemented such rsyslog setup and found it problematic?

Any thoughts/comments for such setup?

Thanks
