The Event Forwarding option on the Settings page allows you to send Starling Platform event data to a service that supports Syslog. This feature is not enabled by default.
To enable event forwarding
IMPORTANT: Only events occurring after the feature has been configured will be sent to your Syslog service and then able to be stored according to your preferences. Events that occur prior to configuration are not forwarded nor are they accessible within Starling Platform.
- From the Starling home page, click the button in the upper right corner.
- In the Event Forwarding section of the Settings page, click Change.
- On the Configure Event Forwarding page, click the On/Off toggle to switch it to the On position.
-
Fill in the following configuration fields:
- Hostname/IP Address: Enter the hostname or IP address to which the event data will be sent.
- Port: Enter the port number in this field. By default this is 6514.
- Structured Data ID: (Optional) Use this field to specify an ID. For example, this could be passed to the Loggly logging service (https://www.loggly.com/) to identify a specific customer tenant within Loggly.
Once you have filled in these fields the information will be saved automatically. Clicking the Send Test Event button will send a test event to your Syslog service to confirm the connection is working.
