Syslog Format for GS1920v2 Switches

ChrisGer · July 2023

Hello Community,
which syslog format do I have to configure on my remote syslog server (Graylog 5.1) so that the data from my Zyxel GS1920-8HPv2 arrives correctly?
CEF, RAW/Plaintext, simple Syslog and Subformat (AMQP, Kafka, TCP or UDP)

Tnaks forward
Chris

Hi @ChrisGer,

I did a local test with Graylog. I use syslog UDP format and successfully received the syslog from GS1920. You can reference the screenshots below.

And here's the Syslog server configuration guide for you to refer to.

Dear Melen,
thx for your test and feedback. after thorough research i found out that after activating the TLS connection to the webinferface the services / logging did not run. after a test without tls connection data from the switch arrived as hoped in the graylog monitoring.

thanks for the help..... maybe there will be an official imput / template for graylog.

thanks and regards
ChrisGer
