Is it possible to push multiple node.cfgs out to separate clusters from one manager? I want to have different loggers for different sets of hosts in different clusters, and having one manager for each set of hosts in each cluster would be ideal. E.g.:

cluster 1  
proxy 1  
worker 1  
proxy 2  
worker 2  
logger 1

cluster 2  
proxy 1  
worker 1  
proxy 2  
worker 2  
logger 2

This would be with a single manager. The reason for this is because I would be managing hosts in different clusters with vastly different traffic/traffic profiles, and I don’t want to comingle it on a single logger. If they log separately, then I can winnow out what traffic came from which tap.

Thanks!

Sorry, no, it is currently not. There have been plans for clusters with  
more complex hierarchies for a while, but that is not done yet.

If you really just need to mark the source of data, you always could add a  
column to each logfile that shows which worker node it originated from.
