Description

Rsyslog is an excellent syslog server used by default in many Linux distributions. Written in C, it's faster, more efficient, and generally more reliable than the larger, more featureful log forwarders. Unfortunately its documentation is both sparse and often wrong, especially for the older 7.x release series preferred by distributions. This is an attempt by a third party to address that flaw by providing a complete and accurate manual. The information presented in this manual comes primarily from reading the Rsyslog source code. This documentation project is not affiliated with Rainer Gerhards or the Rsyslog project.
