Overview

The syslog-ng Open Source Edition is the direct descendant of the syslog-ng project that started ten years ago. This free, open-source version is an extremely well-developed, high performance, stable system being the Linux/Unix world's most frequently used alternative central logging system. According to the estimations, several millions of servers of several hundreds of thousand of companies are running it, so most probably it can be accounted for as one of the most successful Hungarian products, actually functioning as a standard.

The application can operate in server or agent mode, and - apart from UDP - supports the reliable TCP and the encrypted TLS protocols. That way syslog-ng can be used to create flexible and reliable logging infrastructure even in heterogeneous environments.
