    Description

      Is it possible to receive syslog messages from devices that do not have snmp? We have several devices we just want to consolidate logs to with a syslog server, but cannot figure out how to do it on observium.

          [OBS-4184] Syslog

          Observium's syslog support relies on knowing the OS of the end device, because we parse the syslog differently for different OSes, since vendors can't decide what syslog should look like.

          The entire US and database structure also relies on knowing about devices, so it's difficult to handle data coming from devices we don't know.

          Handling unknown device syslog would just be via a separate table with a separate UI, it could never be mixed with the existing syslog support.
