A certificate is a file that uniquely identifies its owner. Certificates contains information identifying the owner of the certificate, a public key itself, the expiration date of the certificate, the name of the CA that signed the certificate, and some other data.
In client mode, syslog-ng collects the local logs generated by the host and forwards them through a network connection to the central syslog-ng server or to a relay.
A named collection of configured destination drivers.
A communication method used to send log messages.
A destination that transfers log messages within the host, for example, writes them to a file, or passes them to a log analyzing application.
A destination that sends log messages to a remote host (that is, a syslog-ng relay or server) using a network connection.
The Premium Edition of syslog-ng can store messages on the local hard disk if the central log server or the network connection to the server becomes unavailable.
The name of a network, for example: balabit.com.
Flare default style, that can be used to group content within a topic. It is a resource to structure and collapse content especially in non-print outputs.
A log statement that is included in another log statement to create a complex log path.
An expression to select messages.
A domain name that specifies its exact location in the tree hierarchy of the Domain Name System (DNS). For example, given a device with a local hostname myhost and a parent domain name example.com, the fully qualified domain name is myhost.example.com.
A device that connects two or more parts of the network, for example: your local intranet and the external network (the Internet). Gateways act as entrances into other networks.
List of short definitions of product specific terms.
High availability uses a second syslog-ng server unit to ensure that the logs are received even if the first unit breaks down.
A computer connected to the network.
A name that identifies a host on the network.
The syslog-protocol standard developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), described in RFC 5424-5427.
A private key and its related public key. The private key is known only to the owner, while the public key can be freely distributed. Information encrypted with the private key can only be decrypted using the public key.
The syslog-ng license determines the number of distinct hosts (clients and relays) that can connect to the syslog-ng server.
A combination of sources, filters, parsers, rewrite rules, and destinations: syslog-ng examines all messages arriving to the sources of the logpath and sends the messages matching all filters to the defined destinations.
A host or network device (including syslog-ng clients and relays) that sends logs to the syslog-ng server. Log source hosts can be servers, routers, desktop computers, or other devices capable of sending syslog messages or running syslog-ng.
A binary logfile format that can encrypt, compress, and timestamp log messages.
Long Term Supported releases are major releases of that are supported for three years after their original release.
A network computer storing the IP addresses corresponding to domain names.
Circumstance, that needs special attention.
The Oracle Instant Client is a small set of libraries, which allow you to connect to an Oracle Database. A subset of the full Oracle Client, it requires minimal installation but has full functionality.
A part of the memory of the host where syslog-ng stores outgoing log messages if the destination cannot accept the messages immediately.
Messages from the output queue are sent to the target syslog-ng server. The syslog-ng application puts the outgoing messages directly into the output queue, unless the output queue is full. The output queue can hold 64 messages, this is a fixed value and cannot be modified.
A set of rules to segment messages into named fields or columns.
A command that sends a message from a host to another host over a network to test connectivity and packet loss.
A number ranging from 1 to 65535 that identifies the destination application of the transmitted data. For example: SSH commonly uses port 22, web servers (HTTP) use port 80, and so on.
An authentication method that uses encryption key pairs to verify the identity of a user or a client.
A regular expression is a string that describes or matches a set of strings.
In relay mode, syslog-ng receives logs through the network from syslog-ng clients and forwards them to the central syslog-ng server using a network connection.
A set of rules to modify selected elements of a log message.
In server mode, syslog-ng acts as a central log-collecting server. It receives messages from syslog-ng clients and relays over the network, and stores them locally in files, or passes them to other applications, for example, log analyzers.
Used to design the online output window.
Flare file type that can be used to reuse content. The One Identity syslog-ng OSE contains various default snippets.
A named collection of configured source drivers.
A communication method used to receive log messages.
A source that receives log messages from within the host, for example, from a file.
A source that receives log messages from a remote host using a network connection, for example, network(), syslog().
The syslog-ng application is a flexible and highly scalable system logging application, typically used to manage log messages and implement centralized logging.
The syslog-ng Agent for Windows is a commercial log collector and forwarder application for the Microsoft Windows platform. It collects the log messages of the Windows-based host and forwards them to a syslog-ng server using regular or SSL-encrypted TCP connections.
A host running syslog-ng in client mode.
The syslog-ng Premium Edition is the commercial version of the open-source application. It offers additional features, like encrypted message transfer and an agent for Microsoft Windows platforms.
A host running syslog-ng in relay mode.
A host running syslog-ng in server mode.
A user-defined structure that can be used to restructure log messages or automatically generate file names.
Additional, usefull information.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols which provide secure communications on the Internet. The application can encrypt the communication between the clients and the server using TLS to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive log messages.
A command that shows all routing steps (the path of a message) between two hosts.
A UNIX domain socket (UDS) or IPC socket (inter-procedure call socket) is a virtual socket, used for inter-process communication.
