This is a sample project for how to log via java's logback to syslog
- You need to have a running instance of syslog with an open UDP port 514
- You need to have gradle installed on your system
You can simply clone and run it with gradle run or gradle test, which should send a message to your local syslog server.
There is a sample config file for syslog-ng in the config folder, which listens on UDP port 514 for incoming syslog messages and forwards them to a graylog instance.
