Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog over TCP, SSL, TLS, and RELP, 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. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes: This release provides new functionality. The reliability of plain TCP syslog has been improved. Also, rsyslog is now tickless in the most common configuration, helping to save the environment. A new property replacer option has been added, and some general cleanup done. This is a recommended update for all development branch users.
