Connect Syslog Data Sources to Azure Sentinel
Plan for the Syslog Connector The events from Linux-based, Syslog-supporting machines or appliances can be streamed into Azure Sentinel using the Log Analytics agent for Linux. The host's native Syslog daemon will collect local events of the specified types and forward them locally to the agent, which will stream them to your Log Analytics workspace. Log Analytics also helps in collecting the messages sent by the rsyslog or syslog-ng daemons, where rsyslog is the default that's on version 5 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and Oracle except for the Linux version sysklog Syslog event collection and the rsyslog daemon should be installed and configured to replace sysklog for these versions of Linux.
