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 is a bug-fixing release. Most importantly, a race that could result in a segfault in specific scenarios has been addressed. Also, some command-line switches were incorrectly processed and a debug string was accidentally written to stdout on daemon termination. This is a recommended update for all users of the beta branch.
