Description:
Enhanced system logging daemon (extra template functions)
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 additional template functions such as $(//), which is a floating point division function, $(or) which does what the name implies and a $(state) function. It also provides $(getent) to query the passwd, group or services databases.
