==== Description ====
The ''rsyslog'' software is recommended as a replacement for the ''syslogd'' daemon and provides improvements over ''syslogd'', such as connection-oriented (i.e. TCP) transmission of logs, the option to log to database formats, and the encryption of log data en route to a central logging server.
=====Notes===== 
This section only applies if ''rsyslog'' is installed on the system.
