correction:
in the section Setup Syslog on the Logging Host- the link for the kiwi syslog server free no longer works and points to the downloads page but does not list Kiwi. I would update the list to https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/kiwi-free-syslog-server . This change might be because they now require registration.
Feedback
in the section Other Logging Servers
- can you add hyperlinks as follows for the following servers so people know they are on the right site.
- Splunk = https://www.splunk.com/
- ELSA = ? - This might not be a particular system and in which case can you add in brackets (Enterprise Log Search and Archive)
- ELK = ? can you add what the 3 letters stand for if a full system a hyperlink
- can you add graylog
- This offers a genourous free and a paid for option.
- There are many videos out there including from lawrence systems
- https://www.graylog.org/
- can you mention in what scenarios you would use syslog-ng as there is limited information on when you would use it on pfSense. General points for this would be suitable.
pfSense v2.6.0 CE

Updating the links is OK, but adding more info on syslog-ng should go in its own separate doc somewhere. It doesn't currently have its own documentation and mixing it into the base system docs isn't a good idea. That would be a separate request for new content, though, not lumped into this.

I thought the syslog-ng information was relevant because it would clear up when to use remote logging to a separate server or enabling syslog-NG on pfsesne and then using that. But maybe a link to its own page would be as useful.
