  • 1.  GIM & STAP failover communication to two more collectors than Primary

    Posted 04/26/21 03:19 AM
    Hi,

    In GIM & STAP failover configuration, One database is forwarding to logs to one collector and is there any option to configure fail over for two more collectors.

    Database - Primary collector (receives logs)
    if primary fails, database should logs to secondary collector like below:
    Database - Secondary Collector ( receives logs if primary fails).
    If secondary collector also fails, need to forward logs to third collector:
    Database - Third collector ( receives logs if secondary also fails).

    Thanks,
    Panendar Rao.C

    Hi Panendar,

    Please refer to "Failover" section in  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/guardium/10.5?topic=luct-linux-unix-tap-load-balancing-models-configuration-guidelines, which is you expect I suppose. Set Load Balancing to 0.  In the Guardium Hosts section: add at least one secondary Guardium Host(you can add second and third collector). Hope it helps.
