Syslog is a widely used standard for collecting and forwarding logs. It allows you to send server and service logs to a centralized log collector / monitoring server, making troubleshooting and log management easier.
Connection parameters
- Server: The IP address or domain of the Syslog receiver
- Port: The destination Syslog port
- Protocol: Typically UDP or TCP (depends on your receiver configuration)
- Tag: A label to identify the log source (e.g., server or project name)
JSON fields
Logs are sent in JSON format. The list of included fields is shown below. If needed, you can disable any field to exclude it from the forwarded logs.
