This chapter discusses the technical concepts of syslog-ng.
Typically, syslog-ng is used to manage log messages and implement centralized logging, where the aim is to collect the log messages of several devices on a single, central log server.

The clients send all important log messages to the remote syslog-ng server, which sorts and stores them.
