     1  # Syslog with Google Cloud
     2  
     3  The Syslog receiver can be used to receive Syslog and forward to Google Cloud Logging.
     4  
     5  ## Prerequisites
     6  
     7  See the [prerequisites](../README.md) doc for Google Cloud prerequisites.
     8  
     9  ## Examples
    10  
    11  **Rsyslog RFC 3164**
    12  
    13  Configure [Rsyslog forwarding](https://www.rsyslog.com/sending-messages-to-a-remote-syslog-server/) to the agent system. In this example,
    14  the agent is installed on the Rsyslog system.
    15  
    16  ```
    17  *.* action(type="omfwd" target="localhost" port="5140" protocol="udp")
    18  ```
    19  
    20  This example will listen on localhost port `5140/udp` for RFC 3164 syslog, receiving syslog from
    21  the local rsyslog service.
    22  
    23  ```yaml
    24  syslog:
    25    udp:
    26      listen_address: "0.0.0.0:5140"
    27    protocol: rfc3164
    28  ```
    29  
    30  **TCP RFC 5424**
    31  
    32  This example will listen on all interfaces with port `54526/tcp` for RFC 5424 syslog.
    33  
    34  ```yaml
    35  syslog:
    36    tcp:
    37      listen_address: "0.0.0.0:54526"
    38    protocol: rfc5424
    39  ```
