Summary : The Netconsole Daemon
URL : https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/netconsd
License : BSD-3-Clause
Description : This is a daemon for receiving and processing logs from the Linux Kernel, as
: emitted over a network by the kernel's netconsole module. It supports both the
: old "legacy" text-only format, and the new extended format added in v4.4.
:
: The core of the daemon does nothing but process messages and drop them: in order
: to make the daemon useful, the user must supply one or more "output modules".
: These modules are shared object files which expose a small ABI that is called by
: netconsd with the content and metadata for netconsole messages it receives.
