FR: make controlcenter compatible with syslog wire protocol
Describe the problem to be solved
It'd be very useful if controlcenter implemented the syslog server protocol so that a syslog client could be configured to send logs via network/socket directly to controlcenter.
Describe alternatives you've considered
We currently support sending text based logs (as well as logstash encoded logs) to controlcenter via -logs_socket
, but those are custom formats, not compatible with syslog. It's probably currently possible to workaround it via an intermediate process that converts the two formats before sending it to the network, but this feels not clear at all.
Additional context
This idea came from a question from an user in our forum: https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/how-to-use-lightmeter-with-a-remote-mailserver/78
