         <Summary>Enhanced system logging and kernel message trapping daemons</Summary>
         <Description>rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd supporting, among others, MySQL, syslog/tcp, RFC 3195, permitted sender lists, filtering on any message part, and fine grain output format control. It is quite compatible with stock sysklogd and can be used as a drop-in replacement.</Description>
