Currently looking at the different syslog clients for the Mac. The built in syslog on the Mac does not work for us. Has anyone successfully installed syslog-ng on Mountain Lion, or, installed any other syslog utilities on the Mac? I am looking for something that supports TCP connections. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, it's a late response but I have installed syslog-ng on macOS. I put together a step-by-step guide to do it from source and I also included a launchd job definition. Check it out here: How to install syslog-ng on macOS
