<div dir="ltr">Hi, <div><br></div><div>Yes, you can do that with OSE. Which OSE version you need depends on how you want to send the logs to Splunk. For example, the http() destination referenced in the first blogpost needs a fairly recent version (at least 3.8 I think). Another (somewhat less sophisticated) option is to write the logs into files, and have Splunk to read those files - that can be done with older syslog-ng versions as well. </div><div><br></div><div>You can find links to recent packages at <a href="https://syslog-ng.org/3rd-party-binaries/">https://syslog-ng.org/3rd-party-binaries/</a></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 18, 2017 at 1:45 PM, Stuart Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:S.Martin@sstl.co.uk" target="_blank">S.Martin@sstl.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
