RSyslog - Features

This page lists both current features as well as those being considered +for future versions of rsyslog. If you think a feature is missing, drop +Rainer a note. Rsyslog is a vital +project. Features are added each few days. If you would like to keep up of what +is going on, you can also subscribe to the rsyslog mailing list. +

Current Features

native support for writing to MySQL databases
support for (plain) tcp + based syslog - much better reliability
control of log output format, + including ability to present channel and priority as visible log data
good timestamp format control; at a minimum, ISO 8601/RFC 3339 + second-resolution UTC zone
ability to reformat message contents and work with substrings
support for + log files larger than 2gb
support for file size limitation and automatic + rollover command execution
support for running multiple rsyslogd + instances on a single machine
support for + ssl-protected syslog (via stunnel)

Upcoming Features

support for + + syslog-protocol-14 compliant messages +
support for native SSL enryption of plain tcp syslog sessions
control of whether the local hostname or the hostname of the + origin of the data is shown as the hostname in the output - prepared + for, but not yet implemented (should be easy) +
support for syslog-protocol - planned +
RFC 3195 support - planned (but late) +
pcre filtering - maybe (depending on feedback) +
multi-threaded redesign - maybe (depending on feedback; also + opens Pandorra's cross-platform development box ;)) +

To see when each feature was added, see the +rsyslog change log (online +only).
