Syslog Daemon

Basic syslog server written in Java. All received messages are written to stdout.

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 with to do so, you can choose a port number (with the -p flag) above 1024.

Usage Instructions

  • Install the syslogd package (.deb or .rpm) from downloads or compile from source.
  • Run bin/syslogd, use the -h option for help :)
