# docker-syslog-forwarder [![Build Status](https://drone.asperti.com/api/badges/paspo/docker-syslog-forwarder/status.svg)](https://drone.asperti.com/paspo/docker-syslog-forwarder) This container accepts syslog streams on port `514/tcp` and `514/udp` and forwards everything to a remote syslog server in RFC5424 format. No encryption support at the moment. ## build ```bash docker build . -t docker.asperti.com/paspo/syslog-forwarder ``` ## environment Variable | Default | Description --------------|-----------|--------------------------- TARGET_HOST | 127.0.0.1 | target server IP/hostname TARGET_PROTO | tcp | `tcp` or `udp` TARGET_PORT | 514 | target server syslog port ## run ```bash docker run -d --name syslog-forwarder \ -p 514:514/tcp -p 514:514/udp \ -e "TARGET_HOST=192.168.1.33" \ docker.asperti.com/paspo/syslog-forwarder ``` ## docker-compose ```yaml version: "3" services: syslog-forwarder: image: docker.asperti.com/paspo/syslog-forwarder restart: always ports: - "514:514/tcp" - "514:514/udp" environment: - TARGET_HOST=192.168.1.33 - TARGET_PROTO=tcp - TARGET_PORT=1514 ``` ## testing If you need a log source for testing, you can use the `logger` command: ```bash logger --server my.logserver.com --tcp --rfc3164 --priority 3 --port 514 "ciao" ```
