Bringing syslog-ng into the fold [FC6 ?]

[Stephen J. Smoogen]

Well to be honest.. I have only used syslog-ng over any of the
replacements out there. I found a webpage listing the replacements:

http://www.loganalysis.org/sections/syslog/syslog-replacements/

Please correct me if I am wrong, but there are 3 parts to what Sopwith
is asking:

1) Better API? [This would seem to require changes in LOTS of
applications, glibc, and kernel to deal with this better API.] From my
readings in the last month on this.. I dont think any of the syslog
authors would say that the current API couldnt use a complete
overhaul.

2) Able to replace what is currently there.

3) Able to handle the increased loads that people are wanting...

I am guessing that the current tools need a testing to see what would
meet those needs.
