# sumologic-syslog()

The `sumologic-http()` and `sumologic-syslog()` destinations send log messages to [Sumo Logic](https://www.sumologic.com/), a cloud-based log management and security analytics service.

Using the `sumologic-syslog()` destination, you can send data (both in JSON and in non-JSON format) to the Sumo Logic service.
