Does information about rsyslog apply to syslog?


I'm trying to configure syslog to send events to a remote server running Logstash. I can only find information about using rsyslog with Logstash, rather than syslog with Logstash.

Will most of the information pertaining to rsyslog be applicable to my task using syslog?


Solution

  • Legacy syslog has many similarities to rsyslog, but other than simple functionality not much carries over.
