@tcnksm Currently we do not support multiple syslog endpoints that can be bound with a single service.

You could bind multiple syslog endpoints to an application. Loggregator will then forward logs to all connected user provided "syslog" services. So in the event one of the syslog endpoints does go down, Loggregator will continue to forward application logs to the other syslog endpoint.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

But in that case, same log will be sent to log service right ?

[wfernandes]

Yes. The logs will be duplicated to both syslog endpoints. Currently, we do not support load balancing app logs to a set of syslog endpoints.

[tcnksm]

Do you have a plan to work on that ?
Or is it acceptable if I send Pull Request for that feature ?

[wfernandes]

We currently do not have a plan to support this. However, you are more than welcome to submit a PR :)

[tcnksm]

Thanks,

But we will discuss with team whether we should contribute it now or in future.
If we start to work it now, then I'll reopen this ticket.
