Hi Robert,

 

Great, thanks for coming back to me so quickly with very useful information. Can I just confirm that the OSE will support this, don’t need Premium or anything?

 

Many Thanks

 

Kind Regards

 

Stuart

Hi Stuart, 

 

Although it is not explicitly mentioned in the docs (I should add a section sometime), syslog-ng can do this. You can find more details about it in these Splunk blogposts:

Hi

 

We are looking to collect logs from servers and devices in our DMZ and then filter the logs of unnecessary information to then be sent to our internal Splunk instance.

 

Would Syslog-ng OSE edition be capable of this task?

 

I’ve started to read through your excellent documentation for the OSE edition, I was wondering what route I should take to configure it for the scenario described above? The link I am thinking is correct is the “To configure syslog-ng OSE as a relay that receives log messages from client hosts and forwards them to a central logserver, see Procedure 4.2, Configuring syslog-ng on server hosts.”

 

Does that sound correct?

 

Many Thanks

 

Kind Regards
