<h1>RSyslog - Documentation</h1>
|
|
<p><b><a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">Rsyslog</a>
|
|
is an enhanced syslogd
|
|
supporting, among others, <a href="rsyslog_mysql.html">MySQL</a>,
|
|
PostgreSQL, <a href="http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/FailoverSyslogServer">failover
|
|
log destinations</a>, syslog/tcp, fine grain output format
|
|
control, and the ability to filter on any message part.</b>
|
|
It is quite compatible to stock sysklogd and can be used as a drop-in
|
|
replacement. Its <a href="features.html">
|
|
advanced features</a> make it suitable for enterprise-class, <a href="rsyslog_stunnel.html">encryption protected syslog</a>
|
|
relay chains while at the same time being very easy to setup for the
|
|
novice user. And as we know what enterprise users really need, there is also <a href="professional_support.html">professional rsyslog support</a> available directly from the source!</p>
|
|
<p><b>Visit the <i> <a href="status.html">rsyslog
|
|
status page</a></i></b> to obtain current
|
|
version information and ports. <b>If you like rsyslog, you might
|
|
want to lend us a helping hand. </b>It doesn't require a lot of
|
|
time - even a single mouse click helps. Learn <a href="how2help.html">how to help the rsyslog project</a>.
|
|
Due to popular demand, there is now a <a href="rsyslog_ng_comparison.html">side-by-side comparison
|
|
between rsyslog and syslog-ng</a>.</p>

<p><b><font color="#ff0000">Warning: rsyslog
|
|
v3 is under active development and as of this writing has a number of
|
|
backwards compatibility issues. </font>If you currently use v2,
|
|
<font color="#ff0000"><a href="v3compatibility.html">be
|
|
sure to read the rsyslog v3 compatibility document!</a></font>
|
|
This also applies if you upgrade from stock sysklogd - you need to make
|
|
some configuration file changes. </b><br>
|
|
Documentation for 3.x is currently sparse. If you need assistance,
|

please <a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/PNphpBB2.phtml">post

on why there is an rsyslog at all. If you are interested why you should

care about rsyslog at all, you may want to read Rainer's essay on "<a href="http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-does-world-need-another-syslogd.html">why

<p>Documentation is added continuously. Please note that the

documentation here

version, be sure

to use the doc that came with it.</p>
