How can I collect syslog messages as Jopr Events?
The Linux platform plugin can monitor syslog messages by emitting them as events. Syslog messages can be collected by the plugin by either reading syslog message files or by receiving them over a socket listener. In either case, syslog must be configured to format the messages in a way that Jopr can parse. You can either tell Jopr (in the platform’s plugin configuration – aka connection properties) what regular expressions can parse your syslog messages, or in your syslog config file (e.g. /etc/rsyslog.conf), you should format your messages that Jopr understands out of the box.
