Secure, reliable log transfer
The syslog-ng Store Box can receive log messages sent using both the legacy BSD-syslog protocol, as well as the latest syslog protocol standards. Transferring messages to SSB is supported using the UDP, TCP, and TLS protocols. Mutual authentication of the TLS-encrypted channels maintains the integrity and confidentiality of the transferred information. Using syslog-ng to transfer the log messages helps you avoid losing messages even in case of network or hardware errors.
Flexible message filtering and sorting
The syslog-ng application can sort the incoming log messages based on their content and various parameters like the source host, application, and priority. Directories, files, and database tables can be created dynamically using macros. Complex filtering using regular expressions and boolean operators offers almost unlimited flexibility to forward only the important log messages to the selected destinations.
Supported sources and destinations
The syslog-ng Premium Edition application can accept log messages from the following sources:
- Local applications and processes sending messages to UNIX domain sockets, named pipes, plain text files, or to the standard output (stdout).
- Remote clients sending traditional syslog messages (as described in RFC3164) using the UDP, TCP, or TLS protocol over IPv4 networks.
- Remote clients sending messages conforming to the latest IETF syslog protocol standard using the UDP, TCP, or TLS protocol over IPv4 networks.
