logglyproxy

This is a syslog server proxy. The messages it receives are forwarded to Loggly via HTTPS. The server uses gevent and keep-alive http sessions for performance.

Usage:

logglyproxy -c config_file

Here’s an example config file:

[logglyproxy]
bind_address = 127.0.0.1
port = 5140
apikey = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

And an LSB init script:

#! /bin/sh
