<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>, 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>Visit the <a href="status.html">rsyslog status page</a> 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>Also, there is an article from Dennis Olvany on 
<a href="rsyslog084-freebsd5.4.txt">Syslog-to-SQL with rsyslog-0.8.4 on FreeBSD 5.4</a> 
(which unfortunately is a bit outdated now). Thanks to Ozgur Karatas, we also 
have a
<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/index.php?module=Static_Docs&func=view&f=/turkish-install-1.0.1.pdf">turkish install howto</a> (online-only, based on the 1.0.1 release).</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.</p>
<p>Documentation is added continously. 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>
