I am pleased to announce the initial beta release of the rsyslog package.
|
|
|
|
Rsyslog has been forked from the sysklogd package. It currently shares its
|
|
base design but includes many important enhancements. Most importantly
|
|
it supports
|
|
|
|
- the ability to receive syslog messages via tcp
|
|
- direct logging to MySQL database servers
|
|
- fully configurable output formats, including
|
|
* high precision timestamps with year ;)
|
|
* access to each of the message parts as well as substrings thereof
|
|
(includes access to facility and priority)
|
|
* access to the raw message received
|
|
- compatibility to stock linux syslogd
|
|
|
|
Rsyslog is GPL'ed software. Details and the download on it can be found at

This package has performed well in our test environments but it is a beta
|
|
release. So you might experience problems of all kind when you try it. So far,
|
|
it has been compiled Red Hat and Debian Linux as well as FreeBSD (but BSD
|
|
sometimes slips final testing and thus there might be some compile issues).
|
|
|
|
We would appreciate any feedback from early testers, including bug reports,
|
|
additional platforms it runs on and new ideas.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to everyone who has contributed ideas, patches and bug reports.
|
|
Special thanks to Tina Bird for being a constant source of new ideas and also
|
|
to Bennett Todd for his suggestions (yes, those back from 2003 also finally
|
|
made it into rsyslog ;)).
|
|
|
|
We hope to receive ample feedback. The more feedback we receive, the more
|
|
enhancements will happen (and the faster they will appear). You can
|
|
send any feedback and suggestion to the rsyslog mailing list. Archive
|
|
and subscription management is available at
