Hi Dojo,

I have the following use case and questions related to Syslog.
A customer is interested in using Dataminer as central collection point for syslog messages coming from various network switches.  This use case should be possible using the generic syslog receiver.

An additional request is to forward all syslog messages to another receiver/application.  The final  destination is not accessible to the network switches while Dataminer is so that is why the idea is to use Dataminer as collection point and then forward the messages to the final destination.

What would be the best way to achieve this?
One way would be to use the SNMP Manager.  But I believe this would require all syslog events to be translated into Dataminer Alarms and then forwarded as SNMP Traps or Inform messages.  This might not be ideal given the huge amount of alarms this would generate on Dataminer.

Any other way this could be done? Would this be achievable by adding an Syslog forwarding functionality to the generic syslog receiver?

Any ideas or thoughts welcome!
