After @madpsy created the very useful map and analysis service (https://lora-aprs.live/) the SYSLOG feature of the LoRa APRS iGate is "hijacked" in #177 .

I'm a new user and I quickly changed to my own SYSLOG server as I didn't like to send my SYSLOG unencrypted over the public internet. I soon noticed that the online map wasn't working anymore. It wasn't obvious to me that this was dependent on the SYSLOG config.

I suggest adding a few words on this in the GUI and/or add a second SYSLOG server for the few of us who have our own servers.

Hi Peter,

this is not hijacked, just a recommendation for users without any syslog server ... just that.

Everyone is free to have its own solution , which surely will be custom made for each needs.

The online map of the lora-aprs.live page is needed by your own iGate sending syslog to this page. If disabled it won't be shown there.

please check this link: https://lora-aprs.live/help.html which explains a little how it works.

You could also forward the same logs from your own syslog server to lora-aprs.live if you wanted.

As for being unencrypted - the logs are available for all to see once you send them so there's no benefit from encryption in transit.
