At this post, I added steps about how to forward specific log file to a remote Syslog server? If you need to forward application logs to your remote Syslog server then check these steps.
Step 1: Get your remote Syslog server IP
Step 2:Configure Rsyslog File on Application Server
You should enable these two configurations from the application server Syslog config file.
Before:
#$ModLoad imtcp
#$InputTCPServerRun 514
After:
$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun 514
#vi /etc/rsyslog.conf # rsyslog v5 configuration file # For more information see /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-*/rsyslog_conf.html # If you experience problems, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/troubleshoot.html #### MODULES #### $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command) $ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd) #$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability # Provides UDP syslog reception #$ModLoad imudp #$UDPServerRun 514 # Provides TCP syslog reception $ModLoad imtcp $InputTCPServerRun 514 #### GLOBAL DIRECTIVES #### # Use default timestamp format $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat # File syncing capability is disabled by default. This feature is usually not required, # not useful and an extreme performance hit #$ActionFileEnableSync on # Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/ $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf #### RULES #### # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* -/var/log/maillog # Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron # Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg * # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler # Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log # ### begin forwarding rule ### # The statement between the begin ... end define a SINGLE forwarding # rule. They belong together, do NOT split them. If you create multiple # forwarding rules, duplicate the whole block! # Remote Logging (we use TCP for reliable delivery) # # An on-disk queue is created for this action.

Step 3:Create Application Syslog monitor config file
Application Log File:/appdata/app.log
Application File Tag: APP
# vi /etc/rsyslog.d/app.conf $ModLoad imfile $InputFilePollInterval 10 $PrivDropToGroup adm $InputFileName /appdata/app.log $InputFileTag APP $InputFileStateFile Stat-APP $InputFileSeverity app $InputFileFacility local7 $InputRunFileMonitor $InputFilePersistStateInterval 1000
Step 4: Restart rsyslog Service
#service rsyslog restart
