How to send logs to Splunk server

I used /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf in SLES11 to send logs to our Splunk server, but SLES12 does not use syslog-ng. How do I send logs to Splunk in SLES12?

I believe rsyslog is used in SLES 12, so Google provides hits there, but
essentially add a line like the following to, preferably, a new file under
/etc/rsyslog.d/ named for what you want to do:

*.*   @@192.168.1.1:10514


Good luck.

Both /etc/rsyslog.conf (and /etc/rsyslog.d/remote.conf referenced by
rsyslog.conf) note the need to enable on-disk queues in remote.conf when
using remote logging so you should do that too!

HTH.
