Windows

Execute this in PowerShell.

UDP Syslog

$syslogServer = "<syslog_server_ip>"

$syslogPort = 514

$message = "<34>Test Syslog message"

$udpClient = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient

$udpClient.Connect($syslogServer, $syslogPort)

$encodedMessage = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($message)

$udpClient.Send($encodedMessage, $encodedMessage.Length)

$udpClient.Close()

Write-Output "Syslog message sent."

TCP Syslog

$syslogServer = "<syslog_server_ip>"

$syslogPort = 601

$message = "<34>Test Syslog message`n"

$tcpClient = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient($syslogServer, $syslogPort)

$stream = $tcpClient.GetStream()

$writer = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($stream)

$writer.WriteLine($message)

$writer.Flush()

$writer.Close()

$stream.Close()

$tcpClient.Close()

Write-Output "Syslog message sent."

Using the Linux command below.

UDP Syslog

echo "<34>Test Syslog message" | nc -u -w1 <syslog_server_ip> 514
