Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd with a focus on security and
reliability.

Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog
over TCP, SSL, TLS and RELP, writing to databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
and many more), email alerting, fully configurable output formats (including
high-precision timestamps),the ability to filter on any part of the syslog
message, on-the-wire message compression, and the ability to convert text
files to syslog.

It is a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to work with the same
configuration file syntax. Its advanced features make it suitable for
enterprise-class, encryption protected syslog relay chains while at the same
time being very easy to setup for the novice user.
