Description

System and application logs can be collected, filtered, forwarded, and stored by a reliable syslog daemon. This is useful for administrators who need central logging, audit trails, or service troubleshooting.

It is a background logging service. Logs can contain hostnames, IP addresses, usernames, errors, paths, and application data, so retention, forwarding, and access rules should be configured carefully.

How to run

rsyslog.service
