Multiple parseable servers sharing the same S3 backend

Will parseable work if I have multiple instances of the parseable application running independently and ingesting log data, each backed by the same S3 bucket or will I run into some syncing issues?

Thanks for the question @tweeter0830 , we've not yet tested this scenario, but yes, most probably there will be race scenario. Do you mind explaining the use case a bit more? May be we can suggest an alternative solution

ty for getting back to me so quickly. I have multiple clusters which I'd like to add logging to. My plan was to start a paresable instance per cluster and have that write to the shares S3 locations. The correct way to do this would be to set up one paresable instance local to the shared S3, but that's hard for me given my configuration.

I got the same concern. We're considering Parseable as an alternative to Loki. We've not found information on Parseable HA or load-balanced arch in the doc (or anywhere else BTW). Is there a way for multiple Parseable instances to share the same retention config, RBACs infos, backend storage., .. ? Thanks anyway, it looks like a very promising piece of code.

This is done with #730 , will be available in the next release v1.0.0. Right now this is under heavy testing. We'll update the docs at the time of release. Closing the issue as done.
