Downtime

acceptable

• If logs in GELF protocol sent using a UDP connection then all logs from the Platform will be lost during the downtime.
• If logs are sent using a TCP connection then GrayLog downtime is acceptable for a time. The Fluentd will handle this.

Scaling

Generally one instance (1 replica) of GrayLog is enough to handle the load.
