While it started -as a regular syslogd, it has evolved into a kind of swiss army knife of logging, -being able to accept inputs from a wide variety of sources, transform them, and -output to the results to diverse destinations. - -Rsyslog can deliver over one million messages (V7, December 2013) to local -destinations when limited processing is applied. Even with remote destinations -and more elaborate processing the performance is usually considered "stunning". - -Project Philosophy -================== -We are an open source project in all aspects and very open to outside feedback -and contribution. We base our work on standards and try to solve all real-world -needs (of course, we occasionally fail tackeling actually all needs ;)). While -the project is primarily sponsored by Adiscon, technical development is -independent from company goals and most decisions are solely based on mailing -list discussion results. There is an active commuity around rsyslog. - -There is no such thing like being an official member of the rsyslog team. The -closest to that is being subscribed to the mailing list: - http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog - -This method of open discussions is modelled after the IETF process, which is -probably the best-known and most successive collaborative standards body. - -Project Funding -=============== -Rsyslog's main sponsor Adiscon tries to fund rsyslog by selling custom -development and support contracts. Adiscon does NOT license rsyslog under a -commercial license (this is simply impossible for anyone due to rsyslog's -license structure). - -Any third party is obviously also free to offer custom development, support -and rsyslog consulting. We gladly merge result of such third-party work into -the main repository (assuming it matches the few essential things written -down in our contribution policy). - -Contributions -============= -Contributions to rsyslog are very welcome. To learn more about how -to contribute, please visit - http://www.rsyslog.com/how-to-contribute-to-rsyslog/ - -Note that the rsyslog team usually has a very long todo list. Help -with that list is much appreicated. - -Documentation -============= -The main rsyslog documenation is available in html format. To read -it, point your web browser to ./doc/manual.html. Alternatively, -you can view the documentation for *the most recent rsyslog version* -online at - http://www.rsyslog.com/doc - -Development Model -================= -Rsyslog uses the integration manager workflow as described here: - http://git-scm.com/book/en/Distributed-Git-Distributed-Workflows +see README.md -- cgit v1.2.3
