Metalog is a modern replacement for syslogd and klogd. The logged messages
can be dispatched according to their facility, urgency, program name and/or
Perl-compatible regular expressions. Log files can be automatically rotated
when they exceed a certain size or age. External Shell scripts (e.g., mail)
can be launched when specific patterns are found.
Metalog is easier to configure than syslogd and syslog-ng, accepts unlimited
number of rules and has (switchable) memory bufferization for maximal
performance.
