syslog-ng, as the name shows, is a syslogd replacement, but with new
|
||
|
|
functionality for the new generation. The original syslogd allows messages
|
||
|
|
only to be sorted based on priority/facility pairs; syslog-ng adds the
|
||
|
|
possibility to filter based on message contents using regular expressions.
|
||
|
|
The new configuration scheme is intuitive and powerful. Forwarding logs
|
||
|
|
over TCP and remembering all forwarding hops makes it ideal for firewalled
|
||
|
|
environments.
