The syslog-ng application is a flexible and highly scalable system logging
|
|
|
|
|
application that is ideal for creating centralized and trusted logging
|
|
|
|
|
solutions. This free, open-source version is an extremely well-developed,

used alternative central logging system. The application can operate in server
|
|
|
|
|
or agent mode, and - apart from UDP - supports the reliable TCP and the
|
|
|
|
|
encrypted TLS protocols. That way syslog-ng can be used to create flexible
|
|
|
|
|
and reliable logging infrastructure even in heterogeneous environments.

|
|
|
|
|
