Sync Log Forwarder

The sync_logforwarder.sh script in the <installation_directory>/cluster_utils/ directory, updates the Log Forwarder parameters across all the nodes in the cluster. For example, if you want to make any changes to the Log Forwarder parameters, make the changes on the Lead node and then propagate the change to all the nodes in the cluster using the sync_logforwarder.sh script.

1. Log in to the co-ordinator node.
2. Navigate to the <installation_directory>/cluster_utils/ directory.
3. To view the arguments for the helper script, run the following command:

   ./sync_logforwarder.sh --help
   

4. Press ENTER. The command lists the arguments for the script.
5. To replicate the changes to all the nodes, run the following command:

   ./sync_logforwarder.sh \
   --hostsfile=<path_of_the_hosts_file> \
   --ssh-auth-type=publickey \
   --private-key-path=<key_file_path>/<name_of_the_private_key_file> \
   

6. Press ENTER. The script creates a backup and then replicates the configuration on all the nodes in the cluster.
