Syslog
From https://syslog-ng.org:
syslog-ng allows you to flexibly collect, parse, classify, and correlate logs from across your infrastructure and store or route them to log analysis tools.
Usage
Security Onion uses syslog-ng as its primary syslog collector and to send logs to Logstash where they are parsed and augmented before being written to Elasticsearch.
Configuration
syslog-ng’s configuration file is located at /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
Forwarding
You can configure syslog-ng to forward Bro / Wazuh / IDS logs to third-party systems.

For more information about syslog-ng, please see:
syslog-ng listens on port 514 (TCP and UDP) for incoming syslog from other devices (you may need to run so-allow to allow traffic from the IP address of your syslog sender). This gives you basic log collection. If you’d like those logs collected from other devices to be analyzed, another option is to configure Wazuh to receive syslog directly on a port other than the syslog-ng port of 514:
