Can I generate syslog messages or trigger messages in graylog?

[j.koopmann]

Hi,

I am running my node-red in a docker and am happy with tons of working flows. I would like to generate some debug-information and send it out to a syslog/graylog server. I have search the net but am only able to find working solutions for node-red receive syslog messages but I want to SEND them. Any ideas?

Regards
JP

You can just use UDP/TCP node to send to syslog.

If you need help formatting the messages, then there is this: node-red-contrib-syslog (node) - Node-RED

This node will format msg.payload as a valid syslog message which can be sent to a syslog server via a UDP or TCP node.

That's what I figured after investigating a bit further but for whatever reason it did not work but now it does. Thanks!
