# Syslog Log Drains

# Overview

Aptible can deliver your logs via Syslog to a destination of your choice. This option makes it easy to use third-party providers such as [Logentries](https://logentries.com/) or [Papertrail](https://papertrailapp.com/) with Aptible.

> ❗️ When sending logs to a third-party provider, make sure your logs don't include sensitive or regulated information, or that you have the proper agreement in place with your provider.

# TCP-TLS-Only

Syslog [Log Drains](/core-concepts/observability/logs/log-drains/overview) exclusively support TCP + TLS as the transport. This means you cannot deliver your logs over unencrypted and insecure channels, such as UDP or plaintext TCP.

# Logging Tokens

Syslog [Log Drains](/core-concepts/observability/logs/log-drains/overview) lets you inject a prefix in all your log lines. This is useful with providers such as Logentries, which require a logging token to associate the logs you send with your account.
