Description

Collects, filters, transforms, and forwards system logs with advanced routing and network capabilities. Administrators use it to centralize logs, separate noisy sources, send events to storage backends, and build reliable observability pipelines.

Log pipelines can expose sensitive data or lose evidence if misconfigured. Protect destinations, test filters, and keep retention policies aligned with privacy and compliance needs.
