# syslog-ng
|
|
|
|
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.
