rsyslog: reliable system and kernel logging daemon

 Rsyslog is a multi-threaded implementation of syslogd (a system utility
 providing support for message logging), with features that include:
  * reliable syslog over TCP, SSL/TLS and RELP
  * on-demand disk buffering
  * email alerting
  * writing to MySQL or PostgreSQL databases (via separate output plugins)
  * permitted sender lists
  * filtering on any part of the syslog message
  * on-the-wire message compression
  * fine-grained output format control
  * failover to backup destinations
  * enterprise-class encrypted syslog relaying
 .
 It is the default syslogd on Debian systems.

rsyslog-doc: documentation for rsyslog

 This package contains detailed HTML documentation for rsyslog.
 .
 It describes the general configuration file syntax for filters, actions,
 templates, etc, and has detailed information for all available configuration
 directives.

rsyslog-gnutls: TLS protocol support for rsyslog

 This netstream plugin allows rsyslog to send and receive encrypted syslog
 messages via the upcoming syslog-transport-tls IETF standard protocol.

rsyslog-gssapi: GSSAPI authentication and encryption support for rsyslog

 These plugins allow rsyslog to write and/or receive GSSAPI authenticated and
 encrypted syslog messages. GSSAPI is commonly used for Kerberos
 authentication.

rsyslog-mysql: MySQL output plugin for rsyslog

 This plugin allows rsyslog to write the syslog messages into a MySQL database.

rsyslog-pgsql: PostgreSQL output plugin for rsyslog

 This plugin allows rsyslog to write the syslog messages into a PostgreSQL
 database.

rsyslog-relp: RELP protocol support for rsyslog

 These plugins allows rsyslog to send and receive syslog messages via the
 RELP protocol. RELP ensures reliable transport over the network even on
 connection loss or if a peer becomes unavailable.
