question on syslog-ng and auditd

I want to send my auditd messages to our local log collector via syslog-ng, what is the recommended why of doing this? Can I enter syslog-ng as the dispatcher or do I need to first send the logs to disk then read from the audit.log file. I have no reason to store these messages on disk. This might be out of the realm of this group , but any syslog-ng config recommendation would be appreciated. As you can see from my question I'm a novice when it comes to auditd and syslog-ng. I've read all resource materials found in /usr/share/doc/packages/audit and googled a lot of good information and have learned a great deal from monitoring this forum, but I'm still struggling with auditd. Does anyone know if Redhat or anyone else offers training for auditd or can you recommend any books that might help? Thanks... Larry E.
