-syslog-ng3 (Syslog New Generation) is a powerful replacement for the standard
-syslogd. Features include:
+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.
- - ability to filter messages based on content using regular expressions
- - forwarding logs on TCP
+Key features:
-WWW: http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/
+ * 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(), ...)
+ * 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).
