Rsyslog is an enhanced syslogd supporting, among others, MySQL, PostgreSQL, failover log destinations, syslog/tcp, fine grain output format control, high precision timestamps, queued operations and the ability to filter on any message part. It is quite compatible with stock sysklogd and can be used as a drop-in replacement. Its advanced features make it suitable for enterprise-class, encryption protected syslog relay chains while at the same time being very easy to setup for the novice user. This package will conflict with sysklogd - in other words, you *need* to remove sysklogd before installing rsyslog. Before you can run rsyslog, please see README.SLACKWARE You can enable a lot of optional (not-autodetected) features by passing variables to the script (VAR=yes/no ./rsyslog.SlackBuild): MYSQL=yes|no (default: no), requires mysql (available in Slackware) PGSQL=yes|no (default: no), requires postgresql RELP=yes|no (default: no), requires librelp LIBDBI=yes|no (default: no), requires libdbi GNUTLS=yes|no (default: no), requires gnutls NOTE: docutils is only needed at compile time - not needed for runtime.
