3.17 Syslog Server
Syslog is a widely used method for message logging, and the more complex
part comes in with what is logged. Syslog messages often contain important
details about the health of a computer system, such as when a hard drive fills up,
when someone logs in, when an application crashes, etc. Because of this,
monitoring the messages in syslog files is an important part of managing a
system.
One of the biggest challenges with Syslog is the volume of data generated;
therefore, the Syslog Server is a great way to store logs from multiple sources
into a single location.
