+# pm2-syslog
+
+This is a fork of https://github.com/pm2-hive/pm2-syslog
+
+It adds the ability to send logs to a remote Syslog server and specify its IP and port
+
+## Howto
+
+```
+pm2 install agrosjea/pm2-syslog
+pm2 set pm2-syslog:serverAddress [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (localhost by default)
+pm2 set pm2-syslog:serverPort [xxxxx] (514 by default)
+pm2 set pm2-syslog:syslogFormat [xxxxx] (RFC5424 by default, other format supported is RFC3164)
+```
+
+Redirect all logs of PM2 + Apps managed into `/var/log/syslog`
+
+## Configure OS
+
+Edit `/etc/rsyslog.conf` and uncomment:
+
+```
+# provides UDP syslog reception
+module(load="imudp")
+input(type="imudp" port="514")
+```
