This free, open-source version is an extremely well-developed, +high performance, stable system being the Linux/Unix world's most frequently +used alternative central logging system. The application can operate in +server or agent mode, and - apart from UDP - supports the reliable TCP and +the encrypted TLS protocols. That way syslog-ng can be used to create +flexible and reliable logging infrastructure even in heterogeneous +environments. + +This requires eventlog. For SQL support, you also need libdbi. + +For more information on how to install and run syslog-ng, see README.SLACKWARE +that came with this package (which is also installed with the docs). -- cgit v1.2.3
