Onum supports integration with Syslog.
Select Syslog from the list of Data sink types and click Configuration to start.
Now you need to specify how and where to send the data and how to establish a connection with Syslog.
Enter the basic information for the new Data sink.
Name*
Enter a name for the new Data sink.
Description
Optionally, enter a description for the Data sink.
Tags
Add tags to easily identify your Data sink. Hit the Enter key after you define each tag.
Now, add the configuration to establish the connection.
Protocol*
Onum supports TCP and UDP protocols.
Host*
Enter the IP address or hostname. Use 0.0.0.0 to indicate all.
Port*
Enter the destination IP port number.
Framing method*
This parameter defines how events are separated within Syslog. Choose between the various options.
octet-counting - Transmits all characters inside a syslog message.
non-transparent - Inserts a Syslog message into a frame and ends with a trailer character.
Trailer character code
The trailer is a single character, mostly ASCII LF.
Internal buffer size
Define the number of bytes allocated for buffering network data during transmission to Syslog.
Write timeout
Enter the number of milliseconds to wait before considering the request a timeout.
Idle timeout
Enter the milliseconds the connection remains open and idle before it is automatically terminated or closed.
Dial timeout
The maximum time (in ms) allowed for establishing a connection before the attempt is aborted.
Connection Time to Live
The maximum duration the connection remains active before it is forcibly closed, regardless of whether it is idle or in use.
Buffer Threshold
Bytes in the buffer before performing a non-blocking flush. The minimum value is 1, and the default value is 262144.
Delivery Timeout
Time in milisecons that the action can wait for the buffer to accept the event's data. The minimum value is 1, and the default value is 10000.
Flush attempts
Number of times the sink will re-attempt to flush its buffer. The minimum value is 1, and the default value is 3.
Connection attempts
Number of times we will reattempt connecting to the destination. The minimum value is 1, and the default value is 3.
Certificate
This is the predefined TLS certificate.
Private key
The private key of the corresponding certificate.
CA chain
The path containing the CA certificates.
Skip TLS validations
Select true or false to validate or not.
Minimum TLS version
Choose the TLS version to use.
Subject Alternate Name to verify
If you have assigned your TLS configuration another name, enter it here.

When you use this Data sink in a Pipeline, you can configure the output parameters. This is where you give the message the required format to be processed in Syslog.
If your message already has the required format, toggle Passthrough to send the message exactly as it is received by the Data sink. Uncheck Passthrough to manually format the message.
Configure the following parameters to manually format the message:
Decide whether or not to include this Data sink info in the metrics and graphs of the area.
Here, you must select or create the containing these values.
