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.

Current Features

native support for writing to MySQL databases

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)
ability to filter on any part of - the message, not just facility and severity
support for discarding - messages based on filters
ability to execute shell scripts on received - messages
control of whether the local hostname or the hostname of the - origin of the data is shown as the hostname in the output
ability to - preserve the orginal hostname in NAT environments and relay chains -
ability to limit the allowed network senders -

Upcoming Features

support for - - syslog-protocol-14 compliant messages - (pending, as IETF will change proposed format)
support for native SSL enryption of plain tcp syslog sessions -
RFC 3195 support - planned (but late) -
pcre filtering - maybe (depending on feedback) - simple regex already - partly added -
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).
