Package description for 'socklog'

System and kernel logging services

 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") and
    writing them to various files on disk depending on facility and priority. 
  - receiving syslog messages from an 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 the first two 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.
