Here is an example of syslog-ng configuration that stores the data on disk for Splunk to read. You will need to manage the data's retention with something like logrotate.

Here is an example that uses syslog-ng and HEC, where no data is stored on the syslog server.

You could also use the Splunk App for Syslog (SC4S)
