Support external Syslog collection

next quarter

I understand that internal Syslog collection is supported, but external Syslog collection is not yet available. It would be advantageous to have support for external Syslog collection to broaden the scope of log sources that can be integrated into Huntress SIEM.

Any update on this? This was estimated for May 2026, It's now September 2026

Syslog without needing local hardware would be amazing, as we currently have some customers who don’t have servers that can be configured as a “collector.” This would be a great improvement.

Send SIEM syslogs directly into the Huntress portal

Dan Sheather

We would like to be able to send SIEM syslog data directly from the firewall into the Huntress portal rather than relaying through an agent on the network.

Support for TLS encrypted Syslog over the internet to the Huntress portal is planned for release in early Q2.

Another vote for this here, we have customers that don't have any fixed devices onsite, so is totally reliant on select devices going into the to collect data.

Being able to configure directly on kit, or through API/Integrations via vendor cloud management would be a huge life saver on this front for us. For example an integration with Unifi Network (Official hosted controller) and Sonicwall NSM.

We need this, as if a syslog collector goes offline, is replaced or gets the IP changed by a different department we would not be in the know till it might be too late.

We would love to see this

Ideally having a cloud syslog address that we could point syslogs to in the instances where the client has no dedicated server or system to collect something like the firewall logs would be really helpful.

We need this sooner rather than later, not all of our customers are intersted in buying a dedicated PC just for the Huntress log collector. By not having a dedicated pc we wont get 24 / 7 logging. So this is a must to ensure 24 / 7 firewall logging.
