Failover
- Description
-
The process that automatically transfers operations to an identical backup system when the primary system becomes unavailable due to failure or scheduled downtime. Failover can occur on a computer, network, hardware, or software component on standby if the initial system or component fails.
NXLog Agent supports failover mode. You can set up a cluster of agents, where if the first node fails, the next node in the cluster takes over. Network modules, such as the TCP and HTTP(s) modules, support failover configuration, where if the first destination is unavailable, the module tries to send logs to the next available destination.
