Should rsyslog replace sysklogd in main and as default
Registered by
Nick Barcet
Corporate usage of of centralized logging often requires:
* Guaranteed delivery of event: events should not be lost because of some TCP/UDP failure. Sysklogd does not provide this.
* Secured delivery of events: events can contain sensitive information so should be encrypted when sent over the network, sysklogd does not provide this.
* Event analysis framework: Central syslog server should be able to send email alerts on some conditions, sysklogd does not support this
* Database backend: in order to perform rapid searches, a database backend is crucial
sysklogd Upstream seems weak, if not dead
Other distro have already made this choice
