syslog

Description

The syslog parameter specifies the endpoint to forward logs to a syslog server (e.g. tcp+tls://example.org:1234).

Default Value

The default value for syslog is an empty string. When set to an empty string, syslog forwarding is not enabled. This parameter is optional and can be configured based on your specific logging needs.

Setting Parameters

To set the syslog parameter, use the following command:

$ convox rack params set syslog='tcp+tls://example.org:1234' -r rackName
Setting parameters... OK

This command sets the syslog endpoint to the specified value.

Additional Information

Configuring the syslog parameter allows you to forward logs to a specified syslog server, providing a centralized logging solution for better management and analysis. Ensure that the syslog server is correctly configured to receive logs from your Convox rack.
