sumologic-syslog() destination options
The sumologic-syslog() destination supports all network() destination options.
In addition, the sumologic-syslog() destination also has the following options.
ca-dir()
| Accepted values: | Directory name |
| Default: | none |
Description: The name of a directory that contains a set of trusted CA certificates in PEM format. The CA certificate files have to be named after the 32-bit hash of the subject’s name. This naming can be created using the c_rehash utility in openssl. For an example, see Configuring TLS on the AxoSyslog clients. The AxoSyslog application uses the CA certificates in this directory to validate the certificate of the peer.
This option can be used together with the optional ca-file() option.
ca-file()
| Accepted values: | File name |
| Default: | empty |
Description: Optional. The name of a file that contains a set of trusted CA certificates in PEM format. The AxoSyslog application uses the CA certificates in this file to validate the certificate of the peer.
Example format in configuration:
ca-file("/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
Note
Theca-file() option can be used together with the ca-dir() option, and it is relevant when peer-verify() is set to other than no or optional-untrusted.
deployment()
| Type: | string |
| Default: | empty string |
Description: Required. This option specifies your Sumo Logic deployment.
For details on the deployment() option in the sumologic-http() destination’s declaration, see Declaration for the sumologic-http() destination.
For details on the deployment() option in the sumologic-syslog() destination’s declaration, see Declaration for the sumologic-syslog() destination.
port()
| Type: | number |
| Default: | 6514 |
Description: Optional. This option sets the port number of the Sumo Logic server to connect to.
tag()
| Type: | string list |
| Default: | “tag” |
Description: Optional. This option specifies the list of tags to add as the tags fields of Sumo Logic messages. If not specified, AxoSyslog automatically adds the tags already assigned to the message. If you set the tag() option, only the tags you specify will be added to the messages.
tls()
| Type: | tls options |
| Default: | n/a |
Description: This option sets various options related to TLS encryption, for example, key/certificate files and trusted CA locations. TLS can be used only with tcp-based transport protocols. For details, see TLS options.
In version 4.0 and newer, using the tls() option is optional, and Sumo Logic servers are verified using the system certificate store by default. In earlier versions, this was a required option.
token()
| Type: | string |
| Default: |
Description: Required option. The Cloud Syslog Cloud Token that you received from the Sumo Logic service while configuring your cloud syslog source.
