Hello All. I am deploying Cribl for one of my customer where we need to collect data from a syslog server and I have 2 Cribl worker nodes to collect the data. Customer is having some concerns in getting the load balancer to distribute the traffic to my 2 worker nodes. What are the other options to send the traffic from Syslog server to 2 Cribl worker nodes? Is there any Cribl internal LB or any other recommended options?

You need an LB in front of all the nodes. We don’t provide that. You'll need either a software or hardware based LB.

Turn off any sticky session settings

We offer an internal LB feature that you may need to enable for high volume long lived connections to distribute the events over all the processes in a given node but that's the extent of how the distribution works for that feature. The external LB is still required in front of all nodes.
