This Oracle Solaris release includes the option of installing and using the rsrsyslog service for managing system logging. rsyslog is a reliable and extended syslog daemon implementation with a modular design that supports several features, for example, filtering, TCP, encryption, and high-precision time-stamps, as well as output control.
The syslog SMF service, svc:/system/system-log:default, continues to be the default logging service. To use the rsyslog service, you need to install the rsyslog package and enable the rsyslog service.
