<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>
<p><b><font color="#FF0000">Warning: rsyslog v3 is under active development and
as of this writing has a number of backwards compatibility issues. </font>If you
have never run it, <font color="#FF0000"><a href="v3compatibility.html">be sure to read the
rsyslog v3 compatibility document!</a></font> This also applies if you upgrade
from stock sysklogd - you need to make some configuration file changes. </b><br>
Documentation for 3.x is currently sparse. If you need assistance, please
<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/PNphpBB2.phtml">post in the rsyslog forums</a>!<br>

<p>Also, there is an article from Dennis Olvany on

(which unfortunately is a bit outdated now).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 "<a href="http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-does-world-need-another-syslogd.html">why
the world needs another syslogd</a>".</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>
<p><b>You can also browse the following online resources:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>the <a href="http://wiki.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog wiki</a>, a community
