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.
