Description-en: Enhanced system logging daemon (extra plugins)
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 collects all the small plugins, which does not worth to have
a whole package. This package contains:
.
* windows event log parser
* tag parser
* Graylog2 destination
* default Network source driver
* Load balancer destination
* osquery destination
* ewmm (Enterprise wide messaging model) destination and parser
