is this tcp routing configuration valid?

[a212830]

Hi,

I want to send data to multiple systems from a specific feed. I have the following TCP_ROUTING command in my inputs.conf - is it valid? I have a stanza setup for each of these, but I'm not seeing the data come into my dev system.

_TCP_ROUTING = eigroup,eiDevgroup

You use inputs.conf and outputs.conf to route data to specific indexers, based on the data's input.

Here's an example that shows how this works.

1. In outputs.conf, you create stanzas for each receiving indexer:

   [tcpout:systemGroup]
   
   server=server1:9997
   
   [tcpout:applicationGroup]
   
   server=server2:9997

2. In inputs.conf, you use _TCP_ROUTING to specify the stanza in outputs.conf that each input should use for routing:

[monitor://.../file1.log]
_TCP_ROUTING = systemGroup

    [monitor://.../file2.log]
    _TCP_ROUTING = applicationGroup

The forwarder will route data from file1.log to server1 and data from file2.log to server2.

EDIT: What if I want to send one of those feeds to two seperate systems?

inputs.conf

[monitor://.../file1.log]
_TCP_ROUTING = systemGroup

[monitor://.../file2.log]
_TCP_ROUTING = applicationGroup  

outputs.conf

[tcpout:systemGroup]
server=server1:9997, server2:9997
[tcpout:applicationGroup]
server=server1:9997, server2:9997

Sorry, I need to be more specific. It appears that the above example will load-balance to two different servers within the stanza. I want to send it to different two different stanzas.
