Once everything is sent to the syslog server it can be bounced to whatever 'non-traditional' stack you want.
My firewalls, PDUs, rear-door heat exchangers, etc, do not talk (nor can they run) "Loki". Just about everything in existence can (a) talk syslog and/or (b) send SNMP traps.
- brianjlogan 1mo agoWhy have the additional hop? You can send Syslog to an Otel collector.
- throw0101a 1mo agoThere will often be a hop in there anyways because you may want to bounce/forward to many locations: ELK, SIEM, offsite, etc. I would argue you want your first hop to be the simplest (IMHO, rsyslogd saving to text files, which can be easily rsync'd or zfs-send/recv).
