rsyslog

Axoflow treats rsyslog sources as a generic syslog source. To send data from rsyslog to Axoflow, just configure rsyslog to send data to an AxoRouter instance using the syslog protocol.

Note that even if rsyslog is acting as a relay (receiving data from other clients and forwarding them to AxoRouter), on the Topology page it will be displayed as a data source.

Prerequisites

• You have administrative access to the device running rsyslog.
• The date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the appliance.
• You have an AxoRouter deployed and configured. This device is going to receive the logs from the appliance.

• You know the IP address the AxoRouter. To find it:

  1. Open the Axoflow Console.
  2. Select the Hosts or the Topology page.
  3. Click on AxoRouter instance that is going to receive the logs.
  4. Check the Networks > Address field.
