Below is documentation for using SourceLabs Self-Support Suite for Linux and Open Source Java to gather, organize, and search Syslog messages.
You can setup syslog to connect to the relay. In this release, we only support syslog over UDP. To set this up, you need to modify your syslogd config file. Often this is in /etc/syslog.conf
To get started, you can add
. @relayMachineName:4657
This will send all your syslog messages to a machine named relayMachin
Syslog is a protocol for sending log messags over an IP network. It has been standardized by the IETF (documents here)
Originally developed as part of Sendmail, SysLog became the defacto standard for Unix and Linux systems.
A “syslog server” or “syslog daemon” is typically the recipient of syslog messages.
SourceLabs includes the ability to capture, sort, search and correlate Syslog messages with millions of records as part of its Self-Support Suite for Linux and
