ACS 5.2 redundancy

[mhuaynate]

hi. I have two ACS 5.2 working in redundancy Primary and Secondary my question in when my primary ACS goes down i can´t see the logg. in the secondary ACS. I read in the documentación that only one ACS can be configurated for working like logg collector server. Now I configurated my secondary ACS  like logg collector server now when my Primary ACS goes down i can see the logg. Finally when my Secondary ACS goes down i can modified the ACS Primary Configution by show me the logg.. Is possible to do this automaticaly for show  me the event logg ? when the ACS that is configurate like logg collector server goes down pass the event other ACS automatically..

Best Regard,

Marco.

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no way to do it automaticaly.

What some people does is putting both setters as they own log colector.

My suggestion point each server to be hin own log colector.

It your ACS handle a lot of authentications and at some moment get under stress you may want to use only the secondary as log colector.

But..

It is impossible when you configurate ACS like secondary you cant do any changue... only in the Primary ACS you can do changue and the replication to the secondary.

In the Secondary ACS you cant do..

add network devide

configure own logg colector server.. etc

only can view this opctions...

Best Regard

When working with a cluster of ACS you can only have one ACS view. There's no "ACS view" redundancy.

A workaround is to use a syslog server. Your primary and secondary ACS will always send logs to both ACS view and syslog servers. If "ACS view" fails then you don't have the fancy reports, but you could still see your raw logs from the syslog server.

A Cisco engineer once told me that "maybe" in ACS 5.3 they will ofer "ACS view" redundancy. I hope that to be true.
