== Use it

Your Syslog-server should send everythin via tcp to port 1514.
UDP and TLS aren't possible yet.
If you want to use any of these,  you can proxy it via a local syslog-ng.

=== syslog-ng

You need these lines:

	source s_server {
		unix-stream( "/dev/log" max-connections(100));
		# internal(); # Statistics about dests. You've any other dest than the server?
		file( "/proc/kmsg");
	};
	
	destination d_server {
		tcp( "SyslogServer.example.org" port (1514));
	};
	
	log {
		source( s_server);
		destination( d_server);
	};

You should use your default source.


=== rsyslog
