Watson Syslog Server

Simple Syslog Server in C#

Watson Syslog Server will automatically start using a default configuration listening on UDP/514 and storing log files in the logs\ directory. If you wish to change this, create a file called syslog.json with the following structure:

{
  "Version": "Watson Syslog Server v1.0.0",
  "UdpPort": 514,
  "DisplayTimestamps": true,
  "LogFileDirectory": "logs\\",
  "LogFilename": "log.txt",
  "LogWriterIntervalSec": 10
}

Need TCP or TLS?

If you prefer a solution that allows you to also use TCP or TLS, I would encourage you to take a look at: https://github.com/ststeiger/NetCoreSyslogServer

Running under Mono

This app should work well in Mono environments. It is recommended that when running under Mono, you execute the containing EXE using --server and after using the Mono Ahead-of-Time Compiler (AOT).

mono --server myapp.exe
