I have found a ton of info about setting up an 8266 to send data to a syslog server. But is there any reason why it cannot receive the same data from other sources and store it to an SD card?
I have seen projects that take local sensor data and make it available with visualizations (graphs and such) through an http server. Would it be possible to do the same thing with data sent to it in syslog format by other devices?
I know the easy answer is for me to just go try it. But with so many things, often when you don't see something being done, it's because people have already figured out that it won't work. I can't figure out why it shouldn't be possible, but then again I can be pretty dumb sometimes.
