Hello,

1. Should we setup the 3-node cluster in each site Or just one cluster in any of the sites will do, as a single cluster can collect logs from both sites, as the vCenters are in linked mode?

  • You can create 3 node Log insight cluster each site (Site A and Site B).
  • Enable log forwarding from Site A to Site B log insights and from Site B to Site A log insights.
  • Any planned activity / DR where a Log Insight is down you will not lose any data.

  1. If one cluster is sufficient, how can we handle a disaster recovery situation, if the site goes down..

- You can integrate site vCenter into single 3 node Log Insight cluster.
- In case of Disaster Recovery situation - Log Insights will not collect data until the environment is down.
