4.2.1 Configure rsyslog
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.
