Description-en: Enhanced system logging daemon (add-contextual-data plugin)
syslog-ng is an enhanced log daemon, supporting a wide range of input
and output methods: syslog, unstructured text, message queues,
databases (SQL and NoSQL alike) and more.
.
Key features:
.
* receive and send RFC3164 and RFC5424 style syslog messages
* work with any kind of unstructured data
* receive and send JSON formatted messages
* classify and structure logs with builtin parsers (csv-parser(),
db-parser(), etc.)
* normalize, crunch and process logs as they flow through the system
* hand on messages for further processing using message queues (like
AMQP), files or databases (like PostgreSQL or MongoDB).
.
This package provides the add-contextual-data module for syslog-ng.
With this module syslog-ng can use an external database file to
append custom name-value pairs on incoming logs (to enrich messages).
The database is a file that containing `` records.
Currently only `CSV` format is supported. It is like `geoip parser`
where the selector is `$HOST`, but the user can define
the selector, and also the database contents.
