Download EPUBReconciliation of Events with Syslog Servers
The Syslog server targets now each maintain a queue of formatted messages that have not been sent to the server. Syslog server targets connecting to servers using TCP (including a secure) connections are driven with a dispatcher callback, which when the connection is writeable, dequeues the next message to be sent and writes it to the open socket.
The EMS server attempts to established connection when secure Syslog target is enabled. If enable command is issued from CLI, target is enabled only if connection is successful. If enable command is issued from loading a configuration, target is enabled regardless of connection result. If connection the is not successful, reconnection is attempted every 5 minutes until connection is successfully established.
