# Syslog Source for Mezmo Edge

> Send syslog events to a Mezmo Edge Pipeline through a specified port using the Syslog over HTTP source within your own network.

## Description

You can send syslog events and data to Mezmo Edge Pipelines directly through a specified port on the Edge instance.

## Configuration

Add the [Syslog over HTTP](/telemetry-pipelines/syslog-over-http-pipeline-source)  Source to your Edge Pipeline. This Source will automatically convert syslog events to parsed logs when ingested.

An API key is not required, and the connection is not protected with encryption. This is intended for use within your own network and isolated from the wide area network.

<Note>
  The Edge instances have default port ranges of 8000-8010. You can add port numbers if required.

  Each Source in Edge requires a unique port number in order to receive data. The port number you use must fall within the range that is set upon deployment.
