Getting syslog messages from two ports on Nagios Log Server

[chartley]

From looking at a few posts on the forum I was wondering if it is possible to get syslog messages from devices using port 514 and 5544 on the Nagios Log Server.

If a person enables the logging of syslog messages by running logstash as the root user to listen on Privileged ports (514):
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1519851299

then

Creates a Input filter in the Global Configuration:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1519851299

and an Input filter of:
syslog {
type => 'syslog'
port => 514
}

will that allow the Nagios Log Server to receive syslog messages from devices on port 514 and 5544?

This is exactly correct
