Hi, in XI it looks like the audit logs can be sent to Nagios Log Server. The configuration page allows choosing a hostname and port to use.

Question here, what is the format of the file that will be sent for this process? Could we use a service of our own to ingest these logs rather than Nagios Log Server? We have another syslog ingestion service that we send all of our logs to and if the file is in a standardized format we could parse it with this service.

Thanks

Hello, the log messages sent by Nagios Log Server to a remote syslog server will typically adhere to the Syslog protocol format. The logs will contain relevant information about the events and activities captured by Nagios Log Server's auditing functionality.uno online

If you have another syslog ingestion service that supports the Syslog protocol, you should be able to configure it to receive and parse the logs sent by Nagios Log Server. You would need to ensure that your syslog ingestion service is configured to listen for incoming Syslog messages on the specified hostname and port that you've configured in Nagios Log Server.
