Feature Requests Allow Load Balancing of Syslog Messages

Allow Load Balancing of Syslog Messages

I would like if we could load balance incoming syslog messages using something like an F5 load balancer. It appears that this is currently possible with NTA (Can Netflow traffic be load balanced with an F5? ), but support has advised that this is not currently possible with LM. This would be extremely useful for environments with multiple polling engines, this way you can just point all devices to the VIP instead of needing to configure different syslog destinations depending on polling engine. It is also helpful to reduce workload in case we need to move nodes between polling engines.

I'm assuming when you say LM your referring to Log Analyzer, correct?
I know it works with SAM 6.8 & NPM 12.4, since we're currently doing that for all 8 APE's and the PPE. I assumed it would work with the latest releases, but now you've got me worried.

Yeah, I wrote this before Log Manager was rebranded to Log Analyzer. We were on I believe version 1.1 when I contacted support and they informed me that I would need to post a feature request, since it does not support load balancing the incoming log messages. I haven't noticed any updates regarding this in the release notes for newer versions.
