Package: syslog-ng (3.3.5-2 and others)

[ Source: syslog-ng  ]

Next generation system logging daemon (metapackage)

syslog-ng is an enhanced syslog daemon, supporting, amongst others:

 * Powerful configurability, while still being readable
 * Filtering on any part of the syslog message
 * Support for both legacy BSD and the new syslog protocol
 * Wide range of source and destination drivers, including TCP
   (plain, or over SSL/TLS), UDP, SQL, MongoDB
 * Also supports fine-grained output format control
 * Multi-threaded operation

The wide range of plugins make syslog-ng able to perform well in every situation, ranging from enterprise-class centralised deployments, through personal computers to ad-hoc connected networks.

This package is a metapackage, depending on the rest of syslog-ng, including all available plugins. It can be safely removed, if only parts of syslog-ng need to be installed.
