Web based Syslog solution

[kapara]

I have finally found a free to inexpensive solution to a centralized syslog server to capture the data securely.

www.papertrail.com a free web based syslog solution.

You can forward syslog requests through a windows server or non windows server using:

The modify the script as shown below:

modify or replace nxlog.conf with the following:

define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog
Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
CacheDir  %ROOT%\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir  %ROOT%\data
LogFile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.log
 <extension syslog="">Module xm_syslog</extension> 
# Monitor application log files

    Module im_udp
    Host    0.0.0.0
    Port    514

 <processor input_transformer="">Module pm_transformer
  OutputFormat syslog_rfc5424</processor> 

<output syslogout="">
  Module om_udp
  Host YOUR_HOST.papertrailapp.com
  Port YOUR_PORT
</output>

 <route 1="">Path syslogin => input_transformer => syslogout</route> 

Modify host and port as needed.
