Load balancing syslog to a pool of syslog receivers

I am trying to come up with a way to load balance a large amount of syslog messages that are coming from a single node.

 

I created a stateless VIP. I created a UDP profile with LB datagram and an immediate timeout setting. I have a pool of 2 servers that I want to split between the two nodes evenly on a per packet basis.

 

Yet all traffic goes to one node.

 

Am I missing something?

Have you created a UDP profile with "Datagram LB" enabled?

 

Hello,

For me, UDP profile with "Datagram LB" enabled, split between the two nodes evenly, but I do not receive the same quantity of logs!

You encounter this problem?

Thanks!

Hi @cpt_ri_F5 what ratio of load balancing are you getting?

Hello, ratio 50% 50%, but 80% of lost logs!

For reference, discussion pretty much continues here:
