# About on-prem data connection

📘 Note

          

Hunters' on-premise documentation relies on **open-source collectors** such as Fluentd.

If you opt to use a different type of collector, you are solely responsible for its interaction, setup, and procurement.

To send logs from on-premises solutions to Hunters, an on-premises logging pipeline must be deployed within the organization's network. This pipeline should be configured to collect logs using the native logging capabilities of the on-premises devices (commonly using syslog or writing to disk files) and send those logs to a cloud storage service (such as AWS S3) that is accessible to Hunters via a log forwarder. Common utilities used in these pipelines are [Fluentd](https://www.fluentd.org/) and [Syslog-ng](https://www.syslog-ng.com/).
