Nagios Log Server - Forward Logs

Hi All,

We use Nagios Log Server within our organisation and we are currently trying Alienvault USM.

Alienvault would like Nagios Log server to push all logs to Alienvault

Is this possible using the Nagios log server API?? I'm struggling to find any documentation on it.

Thanks

Paul

NLS receives logs. It does not forward them. You're better off configuring the sending side to send to both Nagios Log Server and your Alienvault simultaneously.

This is not something we normally deal with configuring, but one of the features of logstash is the ability to do an 'output'. Take a look at this article and see if it clears anything up for you: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstas ... s-tcp.html

I still say that you should configure the thing(s) sending log(s) to NLS to send them to two places, rather than bouncing them through NLS first.
