Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : systemd-netlogd Version : 1.4.1 Upstream Author : Susant Sahani <ssah...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/systemd/systemd-netlogd * License : LGPL-2.1-or-later Programming Lang: C Description : forward journal messages to remote syslog
There seems to already be a packaging effort in progress at https://salsa.debian.org/cgzones/systemd-netlogd but I did not find an ITP or RFP. I want to use systemd-netlogd instead of syslog-ng (which can also do network forwarding) because the configuration is much simpler and it does not cause duplicate logs to be kept (syslog text files in addition to the journal blobs). Full description from upstream: Forwards messages from the journal to other hosts over the network using the Syslog Protocol (RFC 5424 and RFC 3339). It can be configured to send messages to both unicast and multicast addresses. systemd-netlogd runs with own user systemd-journal-netlog. Starts sending logs when network is up and stops sending as soon as network is down (uses sd-network). It reads from journal and forwards to network one by one. It does not use any extra disk space. systemd-netlogd supports UDP, TCP, TLS and DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security RFC 6012). X-Debbugs-CC: Christian Göttsche <cgzo...@googlemail.com>
