[Solved] SYSLOG forwarding on non-standard port

Is it possible to forward not just to an external syslog server but to do so on a non-standard port (i.e. not the default udp/514)? We use different port numbers so our ingest logic stands a chance parsing all the different syslog formats.

Yes, we have some notes here: https://blog.unimus.net/sending-unimus-logs-to-syslog/

Logback has further documentation about using a custom port here:
