Description:

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
