Well, logstash can listen on TCP or UDP port 514, or it can read from a file, either one is a good mechansims to use to get logs to logstash

On the other hand, you may want to look and see if you can get rsyslog to do what you have been using logstash to do, eliminating one moving part is usually a good idea.

Hey David,

Yeah I'm wanting rsyslog to deliver logs to logstash. I have used rsyslog with 
splunk and since splunk is ungodly expensive. I'm having to come up with an 
opensource solution for indexing/searchable logs.

Hello Everyone,

I'm wanting to setup a syslog server that combines the three programs listed 
above with rsyslog. Has anyone had any success using this? I'm running on a 
CentOS 6.5 and finding adequate instructions on how to not only setup all three 
PLUS rsyslog has been somewhat of a challenge.

This issue that I run into is on how to get logstash/elasticsearch and
kibana to talk with rsyslog. Halp meh! Please!

are you wanting to get rsyslog to deliver logs to logstash? or to have 
logstash/elasticsearch send logs to rsyslog?
