The reliable syslog solution
The syslog-ng Open Source Edition™ is a highly portable syslog solution to create secure, flexible and reliable logging infrastructure in production environments.
The syslog-ng project is a continuous community effort to create the best system logging and log processing tool. The project is an advocate and early adopter of open standards, including the syslog RFCs developed by the IETF or the Common Event Expression (CEE) message-description standard of the MITRE Corporation.
The syslog-ng application supports reliable and encrypted transport using TCP and TLS, and offers powerful message filtering, sorting, pre-processing and log normalization capabilities. Utilizing message parsing and classification, syslog-ng is able to correlate log messages both real-time and offline, making it especially suited to implement the artificial ignorance principle. This high-performance tool handles extreme loads easily, and is extensible with various plug-ins to best suit your requirements.
Main features:
- High performance
- Trusted transfer
- Wide range of platforms and architectures
- Increased reliability
- Big user community
- Message filtering and sorting
- Event tagging and correlation
