Amazon CloudWatch Logs supports managed syslog ingestion, enabling customers to send syslog messages from firewalls, routers, switches, and Linux servers directly into CloudWatch Logs. With today's launch, customers can configure their network devices and servers to send syslog messages over TCP, TCP+TLS, or UDP to a VPC endpoint in their account - without installing or managing any agents. Amazon CloudWatch Logs supports RFC 5424, RFC 3164, and Cisco FTD/ASA syslog formats, making it compatible with a wide range of infrastructure.
