# Syslog Daemon
Basic syslog server written in Java. All received messages are written to *stdout* .
2020-12-06 12:11:58 +00:00
The syslog server is able to listen on UDP and/or TCP and parses syslog messages in either RFC5424 or RFC3164 (BSD) format. The default syslog port (514) requires you to run syslogd as root / administrator. If you do not wish to do so, you can choose a port number (with the -p flag) above 1024.
