Syslog ingestion
Infrastructure Observability | Logs
Syslog, short for system logging protocol, is a logging mechanism that enables system administrators to oversee and control log files from various system components, such as network devices, Linux host syslog, syslog servers, or other syslog producers.
Starting with version 1.293, you can use your Environment ActiveGate on Linux to collect syslog logs in your network and ingest them to Dynatrace.
This is a preview release. Your current configuration is fully compatible with future versions, but you can expect higher resiliency to traffic spikes and better handling of connection disruptions when the feature becomes generally available.
For more information, see Syslog ingestion with ActiveGate.
