Syslog Message Collection for OMS from sources that do not support the agent
On the previous article of the OMS series, we've installed and configured the OMS agent on a linux machine and started collecting syslog messages and performance statistics.
Today, we are going to use that machine to collect syslog messages from other machines, devices or applications that are not supported by the OMS agent. This is a two step process, first we are going to enable the remote syslog collection on the linux machine and then we are going to update the configuration of the agent to support high volume of syslog traffic. Let's dive in!

To enable the remote collection, the below lines have to be uncommented in the configuration file:
module(load="imudp")
input(type="imudp" port="514")
and
module(load="imtcp")
input(type="imtcp" port="514")
