Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd.
Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk
buffering, reliable syslog over TCP, writing to
databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and many
more), email alerting, fully configurable output
formats (including high-precision timestamps), the
ability to filter on any part of the syslog
message, on-the-wire message compression, and the
ability to convert text files to syslog. It is a
drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to
work with the same configuration file syntax.

Changes:
This release adds one important bugfix. The imklog
input plugin did
not correctly start up in some environments, and
could even cause
a segfault. This is now corrected. Upgrading to
3.16.1 is strongly
recommended for all users of the v3-stable branch
who use imklog.
