Describe Your Changes
Changes to support sending of logs to syslog server. See #5903.
This change uses the Rackspace syslog package (https://github.com/RackSec/srslog) to send logs to syslog server. The standard
log/syslog
package is not implemented for windows that cause the windows builds to fail. This package has the support for TLS+TCP communication with syslog server.The standard syslog documentation mentions the below points:
Note: Currently, this change does not support sending logs to syslog with "TCP+TLS". Once it's decided to use this syslog package or to maintain one within the Victoria Metrics' `/lib', the TLS support can be implemented.
See previous implementation by @khushijain21
