# aptible log_drain:create:syslog

This command lets you create a [Log Drain](/core-concepts/observability/logs/log-drains/overview) to forward your container logs to an [Syslog TCP+TLS destination](/core-concepts/observability/logs/log-drains/syslog-log-drains) of your choice.

> 📘 Note

> There are specific CLI commands for creating Log Drains for some specific Syslog destinations, such as [Papertrail](/reference/aptible-cli/cli-commands/cli-log-drain-create-papertrail).
