So I've enabled rsyslog on many of my servers to log to a centralized
server. I have them configured to use TCP. This weekend during a disaster
response test, the remote logging server was downed. At that point, the
clients sending log messages had major difficulties. SSH logins started
hanging up, anything writing to the log just sat there. I turned the
remote logging server back on and all was well. How can I fix this? I have
switched to UDP logging for now, but would like to return to TCP logging
as I would like to do encryption of the log stream.
