socklog

2.1.0_2sysutils

Small and secure replacement for syslogd

socklog in cooperation with the runit package is a small and secure replacement for syslogd. There are three main features, syslogd provides: - receiving syslog messages from an Unix domain socket (/dev/log) or UDP socket (0.0.0.0:514) and writing them to various files on disk depending on facility and priority. - writing received syslog messages to an UDP socket (a.b.c.d:514) socklog provides these features with the help of runit's runsvdir, runsv, and svlogd, provides a different network logging concept, and additionally does log event notification. svlogd has a built in log file rotation based on file size, so there is no need for any cron jobs or similar to rotate the logs. Log partitions can be calculated properly.
