In syslog-ng OSE 4.6 and later versions, it is possible to collect logs on macOS with the native OSLog framework using the darwin-oslog() and darwin-oslog-stream() source drivers.

  • darwin-oslog(): This source builds on the native OSLog framework, instead of the earlier file-source based solution.
  • darwin-oslog-stream(): This source provides a live log stream feed.
