Panther Log Forwarder

Integration Overview

Not every log source lives in the cloud. For on-premises infrastructure, like servers, network devices, and legacy applications, Panther Log Forwarder is a lightweight agent that collects logs from files or syslog and forwards them to Panther over HTTPS. It runs as a systemd service on Linux, requires no cloud credentials, and includes built-in disk buffering to prevent data loss during network disruptions.

Use Cases

• Forward logs from on-premises servers, appliances, and legacy applications that can't push directly to cloud-based log sources

• Receive syslog over TCP or UDP from network devices and route them to Panther

• Tail application log files and stream new entries to Panther in near real-time

• Buffer logs locally during network outages and deliver them once connectivity is restored

Getting Started

Panther Log Forwarder runs on Linux (x86_64 and ARM64) with systemd, supporting Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, RHEL 8+, and Rocky Linux 8+. Download the latest release, run the installer, and configure a forwarder YAML file pointing at your Panther HTTP source. Logs typically appear in Data Explorer within a few minutes.
