<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, high precision timestamps, queued operations 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_tls.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>This documentation is for version 3.19.8 (devel branch) of rsyslog.</b>
|
|
Visit the <i> <a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-status.html">rsyslog status page</a></i></b> to obtain current
|
|
version information and project status.
|
|
</p><p><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>If you are upgrading from rsyslog v2 or stock sysklogd,
|
|
<a href="v3compatibility.html">be
|
|
sure to read the rsyslog v3 compatibility document!</a> It will work even
|
|
if you do not read the doc, but doing so will definitely improve your experience.</p>

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>

If you would like to use rsyslog source code inside your open source project, you can do that without
|
|
any restriction as long as your license is GPLv3 compatible. If your license is incompatible to GPLv3,
|
|
you may even be still permitted to use rsyslog source code. However, then you need to look at the way
|
|
<a href="licensing.html">rsyslog is licensed</a>.</p>
