Forwarding from FluentD to another Syslog Server

[Kyle Kniffin]

Does the forward plugin work for sending syslog messages to another syslog server or is that simply for sending to another FluentD server?

I have to match a few messages as they come in and forward them to another syslog server for processing. Is there a plugin or way to do this with FluentD?

Appreciate the help.

in_/out_forward is for Fluentd to Fluentd communication, and as far as I know, there is no plugin that outputs data to syslog.

One question to ask for Fluentd -> Syslog is: what's the data format that syslog should expect? Going from syslog to Fluentd is straightforward since you are going from unstructured to structured, but the other direction is less obvious.

Alternatively, you can run Fluentd instead of syslog with in_forward =)
