- syslog-ng reads and logs messages to the system console, log
- files, other machines and/or users as specified by its
- configuration file.
- The configuration file is read at startup and is reread after
- receipt of a hangup (HUP) signal. When reloading the
- configuration file, all destination files are closed and
- reopened as appropriate. For more information about the
- configuration file, see syslog-ng.conf(5).
- Typically messages are sent to syslog-ng via a Unix domain
- socket (/dev/log) or via UDP, to port 514 or to whatever
- syslog/udp is defined to be in /etc/services. To receive
- messages from the kernel, /dev/klog is opened for reading.
- Messages sent to syslog-ng should be an entire line, prefixed
- by a pri- ority code in between '<' and '>'. Definititions
- of the recognised values can be found in the include file
- <sys/syslog.h>.
- syslog-ng can be configured to pass messages on to other
- syslog-ng's and when doing so, it sends the message on with the
- priority as a pre- fix.
