A powerful syslog daemon" + tristate + default n + help + syslog-ng reads and logs messages to the system console, log + files, other machines and/or users as specified by its + configuration file. + + The configuration file is read at startup and is reread after + receipt of a hangup (HUP) signal. When reloading the + configuration file, all destination files are closed and + reopened as appropriate. For more information about the + configuration file, see syslog-ng.conf(5). + + Typically messages are sent to syslog-ng via a Unix domain + socket (/dev/log) or via UDP, to port 514 or to whatever + syslog/udp is defined to be in /etc/services. To receive + messages from the kernel, /dev/klog is opened for reading. + + Messages sent to syslog-ng should be an entire line, prefixed + by a pri- ority code in between '<' and '>'. Definititions + of the recognised values can be found in the include file + <sys/syslog.h>. + + syslog-ng can be configured to pass messages on to other + syslog-ng's and when doing so, it sends the message on with the + priority as a pre- fix. + + http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/ |
