About rsyslog ============= rsyslog is more than just a logging daemon — it is a **high-performance, modular logging framework** with a lineage going back to the original BSD `syslogd` (1983). Over the decades, it has evolved into a modern log processing and observability platform that powers Linux systems, cloud-native pipelines, and enterprise-scale deployments. This section provides background on the project, its history, and strategic direction, including our **AI First** initiative. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 ai_first history
