Can fluentd replace rsyslog?

Can fluentd replace rsyslog to centralize logs?

I want to centralize my logs (comming from syslog on 514 UDP port) in files like <host>.log.

Can fluentd do this job?

Solution

  • If you want to retrieve records via the syslog protocol on UDP or TCP, you can use syslog input plugin for fluentd.

    in_syslog is included in Fluentd’s core, so you probably already have it.
