RSYSLOG.CONF(5)                    Linux System Administration                    RSYSLOG.CONF(5)

NAME
       rsyslog.conf - rsyslogd(8) configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The rsyslog.conf file is the main configuration file for the rsyslogd(8) which logs system
       messages on *nix systems.  This file specifies rules for logging.   For  special  features
       see the rsyslogd(8) manpage.

       While rsyslogd contains enhancements over standard syslogd, efforts have been made to keep
       the configuration file as compatible as possible. While,  for  obvious  reasons,  enhanced
       features  require  a  different config file syntax, rsyslogd should be able to work with a
       standard syslog.conf file. This is especially useful while you are migrating from  syslogd
       to rsyslogd.

       This  man  page  is  now  a stub. Full documentation can be found in the doc folder of the
       rsyslog distribution. If in doubt, you can also view it online at

           http://www.rsyslog.com/doc
