M1000e syslog to multiple targets

Question

Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I'm trying to send syslog data from our M1000e chassis to multiple syslog targets at the same time.  From the config file, this will use the settings: cfgRhostsSyslogServer1=cfgRhostsSyslogServer2=cfgRhostsSyslogServer3= But I can't find anything in the manuals to indicate whether these options are used to send to multiple targets simultaneously, or if the targets are used in a failover method (i.e. send to Server1, if Server1 is down send to Server 2, if Server2 is down send to Server3). Can anyone clarify how these 3 are able to be used?  I'm trying to test this in-house at the moment, but finding a system that I'm allowed to make the config changes on is tricky. Thanks

Duncaninnesubs,

I am researching the issue for you, in order to get a definitive answer, but I believe the command sends the log to up to 3 servers, so it sounds like it sends to each simultaneously.

Let me look into this and I will let you know.

If you configure all three remote syslog destinations CMC will send logs to all three servers simultaneously.
