NoteAzure Monitor supports collection of messages sent by rsyslog or syslog-ng, where rsyslog is the default daemon. The default syslog daemon on version 5 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Oracle Linux version (sysklog) is not supported for syslog event collection. To collect syslog data from this version of these distributions, the should be installed and configured to replace sysklog.The following facilities are supported with the Syslog collector:. kern. user. mail.
daemon. auth. syslog. lpr. news.
![]()
uucp. cron. authpriv. ftp. local0-local7For any other facility, in Azure Monitor. Configuring SyslogThe Log Analytics agent for Linux will only collect events with the facilities and severities that are specified in its configuration. You can configure Syslog through the Azure portal or by managing configuration files on your Linux agents.
Is there a recommended configuration for syslog-ng log rotation and blacklist to prevent duplicate data? Also, what should I configure the syslog-ng to for the log rotation, is there a recommended configuration for this? Thanks in Advance. Not sure why I was saying syslog-ng for the rotation. Sorry its been a while.
Configure Syslog in the Azure portalConfigure Syslog from the. This configuration is delivered to the configuration file on each Linux agent.You can add a new facility by typing in its name and clicking +. For each facility, only messages with the selected severities will be collected. Check the severities for the particular facility that you want to collect. You cannot provide any additional criteria to filter messages.By default, all configuration changes are automatically pushed to all agents. If you want to configure Syslog manually on each Linux agent, then uncheck the box Apply below configuration to my Linux machines.
Configure Syslog on Linux agentWhen the, it installs a default syslog configuration file that defines the facility and severity of the messages that are collected. You can modify this file to change the configuration. The configuration file is different depending on the Syslog daemon that the client has installed. NoteIf you modify this value in the configuration file 95-omsagent.conf, it will be overwritten when the agent applies a default configuration.

As per documentation, Syslog-ng allows 8192 bytes length per message by default. Syslog splitting the message into two when size is more than 8K.
When I applied
log_msg_size() parameter globally and modified value to 16K it works. But I want apply this parameter to specific source only; to allow events up to size 16K and keep global parameter to default.
Is it possible to apply
log_msg_size() to specific source only?
If yes then where should I mention it in below example. If we modified the
syslog_msg_size value to 16K is it going to hit my system/CPU performance? Please advise.

options { log_msg_size(16384); };
tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(100) max-connections(100) log_msg_size(16384) );
