garethr/remotesyslog — version 0.1.1 Feb 16th 2014

This module is also available on the Puppet Forge.

Alternatives and inspiration

A few Papertrail modules already exist, for example from davidwinter and from bdossantos but both of them want to own your entire syslog configuration as well. This module only installs and manages remote_syslog.
