Need help please. Best way to receive rsyslog from clients and forward onto a Graylog server?


#1 jerald.harrison

I have my NXlog server successfully receiving rsyslog messages from client Linux boxes. Now I'm trying to have NXlog forward those messages to my Graylog server using GELF. NXlog and Graylog are both running on CentOS 7 If anyone can point me in the right direction config file wise I'd be greatly appreciative.

Please see the following section in the reference manual about Graylog https://nxlog.co/docs/nxlog-ce/nxlog-reference-manual.html#xm_gelf

This section in the User Guide could also be helpful.
