# Syslog server

!!! warning "Deprecation Notice"
9+
Built-in Syslog ingestion (via TCP/UDP on port 5514) has been **deprecated as of August 2025** and is no longer available in OpenObserve.
10+
11+
**Recommended alternatives:**
12+
- [AxoSyslog](https://axoflow.com/docs/axosyslog-core/chapter-destinations/openobserve/)
13+
- [syslog-ng](https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/sending-logs-to-openobserve-using-syslog-ng)
14+
- [Vector](../logs/vector.md)
15+
- [Fluent Bit](../logs/fluent-bit.md)
16+
17+
We suggest using **AxoSyslog or syslog-ng** if you want protocol-native support for Syslog.

OpenObserve can act as a syslog server. This means that you can send logs to OpenObserve using the syslog protocol. OpenObserve supports both UDP and TCP syslog.
