High speed logging and round robin load balancing issues

Hi,

 

We have a couple of F5 servers that have an iRule that uses HSL to send log messages to a pool of remote rsyslog daemons.

 

The rsyslog daemons are added to one pool, and the pool is configured to distribute log messages in a round robin way.

 

All the nodes in the pool are up and running and are in a green state.

 

 

I would expect that the log messages get distributed evenly accross all nodes in that logging pool.

 

However it looks like the round robin balancing is not used.

 

All the messages sent with HSL are always sent to the same rsyslog daemon.

 

Only when logrotation kills rsyslog for a short term another rsyslog daemon is selected.

 

Is there some other stickyness setting that we're forgetting? Or is HSL not supporing the load balancing configuration of the pool?

 

Or is there another setting that I'm forgetting?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Pieter
