Hello! I have a situation with the Storagegrid install. It’s installed across multiple countries. The admin servers are setup as primary and secondary in each country. But since the networks are not stretched across countries my loghost vips are individual per country. But in Storagegrid Ui I can only supply one loghost, this means it can send logs only in one country at a time. So the other countries nodes can never forward logs due to network segregation between the countries.
I was thinking of using an SRV record that will translate to the loghost name per country and then use the same SRV record in the log forwarding section this way it will see the same address but get forwarded behind the scenes to the individual loghosts. So my question is does Storagegrid work with SRV DNS records?
Or do you suggest a better alternative in my situation? Thanks!

Hi Eurekus, you would probably want to put your log forward host behind a load balancer so it can make smart decisions on where to route your traffic.
i.e.
LB DNS
- Country 1 loghost
- Country 2 loghost
- Country 3 loghost
If source IP is from country 1 admin node, forward to country 1 loghost and so on.
This will work with Nginx
