<h1>RSyslog - Documentation</h1>

<p><b><a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">Rsyslog</a> is an enhanced syslogd

supporting, among others, <a href="rsyslog_mysql.html">MySQL</a>, 
PostgreSQL, 
<a href="http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/FailoverSyslogServer">failover log 
destinations</a>, syslog/tcp, 

fine grain output format control, and the ability to filter on any message part.</b>

It is quite compatible to stock 

sysklogd and can be used as a drop-in replacement. Its <a href="features.html">

advanced features</a> make it suitable for enterprise-class, 

<a href="rsyslog_stunnel.html">encryption protected syslog</a>

relay chains while at the same time being very easy to setup 

for the novice user.</p>

<p><b>Visit the <i> <a href="status.html">rsyslog status page</a></i></b> to obtain current

version information and ports. <b>If you like rsyslog, you might want to lend us 

a helping hand. </b>It doesn't require a lot of time - even a single mouse click 

helps. Learn <a href="how2help.html">how to help the rsyslog project</a>.</p>

(which unfortunately is a bit outdated now).</p>

<p>Our <a href="history.html">rsyslog history</a> page is for you if you would like to learn a little more

on why there is an rsyslog at all. If you are interested why you should care 
about rsyslog at all, you may want to read Rainer's essay on &quot;<a href="http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-does-world-need-another-syslogd.html">why 
the world needs another syslogd</a>&quot;.</p>

<p>Documentation is added continuously. Please note that the documentation here

matches only the current version of rsyslog. If you use an older version, be sure

to use the doc that came with it.</p>
