Off load Snort logs to local log server?

Gents,

New to the forum and just wanted to tip my hats to the outstanding work that is being accomplished here post Itus.  I was pretty bummed out to see the company go under and really believe in the concept.  I just recently updated (via Hans instructions) both of my Shields to v1.51 SP1.   Due to work constraints I actually had to set these to the side for a while but now I have some time to work on tweaking it a little.  

My question is has anyone fooled around with any type of log shipping of your snort logs to a local log server?   I have a Synology NAS with a Log server and would love to ship the snort logs over prior to them being deleted.   I have set the log size to 64k but any guidance on how to set this up via a cron job or scheduled task would be great.   I am reaching out to the forum since my main concentration is windows and although i have a basic understanding there is no way for me to get the syntax correct on my own.  Note this will be a password protected place where the logs will dump so i will need the syntax for the authentication (less actual UN/PWD :-)) as well if possible.  Thanks to all in advance for any assistance!

UPDATE:

I found this blog that outline how to do this..
http://blog.disects.com/2011/05/snort-logging-alerts-to-syslog-server.html

This is how my logs are currently configured on the shield
************
output alert_fast: alert.fast 64k
# output log_tcpdump: tcpdump.log
************
Can i add the below text (Ips are fake obviously) to ship the logs over the a syslog server concurrently?

output alert_syslog: host=172.16.232.161:514, LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT

Thoughts?

I've never tried it but I found this that might be some help:

Also if it's of any interest to you in the old forum there is a script for using pushbullet with the shield.

thanks i will give this a try.   Do we have a copy of the old forums posted here?
