Summary
Linux uses the syslog standard for message logging, this allows programms and applications to generate messages that can be captured, processed and stored by the system logger. It eliminates the need for each and every application having to come up with and implement a logging mechanism on their own and also means that logging can be configured and controlled in a centralized location.
Requirements
A syslog server accepts syslog messages and processes, those messages based on a set of configurable rules.
