Description

Rsyslog is an open source software utility used on UNIX and Unix-like computer systems for forwarding log messages in an IP network. It implements the basic syslog protocol, extends it with content-based filtering, rich filtering capabilities, flexible configuration options, and adds features such as using TCP, SSL/TLS, and RELP for transport. Rsyslog can be used to centralize log data from a variety of sources, including applications, security devices, operating systems, and network devices. It can be used to store and analyze log data for security and compliance purposes, as well as for system monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance optimization. Rsyslog is also capable of sending log messages to a remote server for secure storage and remote logging. In addition, it provides advanced capabilities for log message manipulation, such as log message modification, filtering, and routing.
