# Setting up syslog support
This document will explain how to send syslog data to LibreNMS.
### Syslog server installation
For Debian / Ubuntu:
```ssh
apt-get install syslog-ng
```
For CentOS / RedHat
```ssh
yum install syslog-ng
```
Once syslog-ng is installed, edit the relevant config file (most likely /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf) and paste the following:
```ssh
# First, set some global options.
options {
chain_hostnames(0);
flush_lines(0);
use_dns(1); # Search name with DNS of the machine
use_fqdn(1); # Use all FQDN name of the machine
perm(0640);
stats_freq(0);
keep_hostname(0);
log_fifo_size (1000);
time_reopen (10);
create_dirs (no);
};
source s_sys {
system();
internal();
};
source s_net {
udp(port(514) flags(syslog-protocol));
tcp(port(514) flags(syslog-protocol));
};
destination d_librenms {
program("/opt/librenms/syslog.php" template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") template-escape(yes));
};
log {
source(s_net);
source(s_sys);
destination(d_librenms);
};
@include "/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/"
```
Next start syslog-ng:
```ssh
service syslog-ng restart
```
If you have permitted udp and tcp 514 through any firewall then that should be all you need. Logs should start appearing and displayed within the LibreNMS web ui.
