How does the primary device react if it fails during log synchronization?

If the primary device fails during log synchronization, the backup device takes over the primary duties seamlessly, ensuring continuity in log synchronization. This failover mechanism is a crucial aspect of high availability configurations, which are designed to maintain system uptime and reliability.

When the backup device assumes primary duties, it allows the logging processes to continue without interruption, thereby ensuring that no logs are lost during the transition. This is essential for maintaining a complete and accurate logging framework, particularly in environments where log data can be critical for security, compliance, and operational analysis.

This design mitigates the impact of the primary device's failure and ensures that logging continues uninterrupted, which is vital for ongoing security monitoring and incident response activities.
