Promtail - Forward logs not into loki

Hi,
I want to add loki to my existing grafana but I need a way to ship the logs into another source as well, is there a way to do it? (using promtail)
To be more specific, I need to send the logs using UDP, like syslog.

Hi @dror1212

We support syslog in Promtail: https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/clients/promtail/configuration/#syslog

And there is an example configuration you could try:

You didn’t understand my question, I know promtail can collect logs using syslog, but I want to use syslog to ship the logs to other targets using UDP, not to loki. maybe there is a feature in loki that can pass the data to other sources?
