# The sysutils/syslog-ng port

## syslog-ng-3.3.8 – syslogd replacement

## Description

    syslog-ng, as the name shows, is a syslogd replacement, but with new
    functionality for the new generation. The original syslogd allows messages
    only to be sorted based on priority/facility pairs; syslog-ng adds the
    possibility to filter based on message contents using regular expressions.
    The new configuration scheme is intuitive and powerful. Forwarding logs
    over TCP and remembering all forwarding hops makes it ideal for firewalled
    environments.
