Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among other features, it offers support for reliable syslog over TCP and RFC 3195, writing to MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, fully configurable output formats (including great timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message, and on-the-wire message compression. It is designed as a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and thus is able to work with the same configuration file syntax. Of course, some enhanced features require changing the configuration file, but in general, this should be fairly easy. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: This version offers the ability to preserve the on-disk queue between runs of rsyslogd. When rsyslogd is shut down, the queue is kept on disk. Upon the next restart, rsyslogd continues to process messages from where it stopped. This is useful for busy systems, especially with slow outputs (like databases). Some configuration parameters have been added to fine-tune timeouts during shutdown and message enqueueing. This release is a recommended update for all users of the v3 series. The v3 branch is not yet recommended for use on production machines.
