Syslog

FlowG is also a Syslog Server. But it is a single endpoint. As such, the logs received by the Syslog server are routed to every pipeline via the SYSLOG entrypoint.

Both RFC 3164 and RFC 5424 formats are supported.

NB: For more inforation about Syslog priorities, facilities and severities, please refer to this page.
