Configuring a Syslog server to send events

The rsyslog service is used to transmit events from the server to the collector.

To configure the sending of events from the server where MySQL or MariaDB is installed to the collector:

1. Before making any changes, create a backup copy of the /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file.
2. To send events via UDP, add the following line to the /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file:

   *.* @<IP address of the KUMA collector>:<port of the KUMA collector>

   For example:

   *.* @192.168.1.5:1514

   If you want to send events over TCP, the line should be as follows:

   *.* @@192.168.1.5:2514

   Save changes to the /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file.

3. Restart the rsyslog service by executing the following command:

   sudo systemctl restart rsyslog.service
