Good morning, everyone.
How could I configure Nagios XI to send Event Logs to an external syslog server?
Thank you

Re: Send event log to an external syslog server
Hi @ruizsj,
Nagios XI does log messages to the local system logger (syslog) installed by your operating system(OS) but there is not a mechanism in XI itself for forwarding messages. If you look in your "/var/log/messages" or "/var/log/syslog" file you should see Alerts and Notifications.
Since syslog is installed and managed by your operating system, we're limited in what guidance we can provide. Your best bet is to review the documentation provided by your OS to see how to forward the messages per the daemon installed on your system.
