This is a daemon for receiving and processing logs from the Linux Kernel, as emitted over a network by the kernel's netconsole module. It supports both the old 'legacy' text-only format, and the new extended format added in v4.4. The core of the daemon does nothing but process messages and drop them: in order to make the daemon useful, the user must supply one or more 'output modules'. These modules are shared object files which expose a small ABI that is called by netconsd with the content and metadata for netconsole messages it receives.
