Syslog'ing to remote syslog server- HOW?

[pollardhimself]

Can some either point me to a how to, or instruct me on how to setup a remote syslog server?

depends on what platform you will run it on.  whichever, a pfsense forum is not a good choice to ask - you would be better served deciding where to run the syslog server then find a forum or google for howtos for that platform.

It's not difficult in most cases. We cover setting up a FreeBSD syslog server in the book. I hear Kiwi Syslog Server on Windows is easy to use as well.

In the past i used syslog on a linux box and have splunk pick up the logs so its in a nice and clean readable, so i didnt have to pay for splunk and have a few systems write to the syslog server.
