Load Balanced Agent Groups

Administrators can group load-balanced System Monitors together when multiple System Monitors are connected to a commercial or open source round-robin load balancer.

When System Monitor Agents are configured into a Load Balanced Agent Group, all parent and child syslog virtual log sources assigned to one collection Agent in the group appear in all scsm.ini files for Agents in that group. This feature allows all System Monitor Agents within the group to immediately recognize identifiers for all log sources within the group. This prevents log loss that can happen during virtual identifier search scope lookups.

Load Balanced Agent Groups can only be used for Syslog type log sources.
