Forward OSticket logs to external syslog

gica78r

Hello everyone! This is my first message on the forum and I hope to ask an interesting question.
I've been using OSticket for some time now, I find it very useful and would like to customize it a bit. Since on the system log page I frequently see events like "Invalid CSRF token" and the corresponding source IP address, I would like to send this kind of messages to an external log collector for further elaboration. I know that these log events are stored in a database table and not on a file, so I wonder if there is already a plugin to send them to an external destination or if it's possible to use an API to do so. I'm not a PHP programmer, so I don't think I can write such a plugin by myself.

Thank you in advance.

No, we don't have such functionality available at this time. You'd need to write your own script/plugin to push the logs externally.

I will say that this is already on our Feature Request list for possible future development, so please stay tuned!

Note:
We do send some alerts to the Admin Email however it does not send everything so the best option would be to write your own script/plugin and send the desired logs.

Cheers.
