The rsyslog package is a third party package that provides many enhancements to syslog, such as multi-threading, TCP communication, message filtering and data base support.
Rationale:
The security enhancements of rsyslog such as connection-oriented (i.e. TCP) transmission of logs, the option to log to database formats, and the encryption of log data en route to a central logging server) justify installing and configuring the package.
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
Ensure rsyslog or syslog-ng is installed:
# apt-get install rsyslog
