======Log Management with rsyslog======  
rsyslog is a service for managing system logs. It works as a daemon, providing tools to collect messages and send them to a storage location.

Functions of rsyslog:  
  * Receive messages  
  * Filter and sort messages — determine their priority and type  
  * Store messages — write them to specific files or forward them to a remote server  

The system is highly configurable: you can set it to save any type of message to any file.\\
rsyslog can receive and transmit logs over the **syslog** protocol across a network, using both TCP and UDP through the standard port 514.  

Scripts for integrating SCAT logs with syslog and systemd units for their execution:  
  * ''parser.bash'' — monitors SCAT logs and converts them to rsyslog format using the logger module.  
  * ''bng_logmon.service'' — systemd units to launch the scripts.  
  * ''bng.conf'' — an example configuration for sending logs to a remote server, which can be used as is or modified for more flexible settings.  

=====Requirements=====  
  * A running fastdpi process — it generates log entries, required for the SSG message-sending scripts.  
  * A running rsyslog daemon.  

=====Installation=====  
  - Install ''bnglogmon'':<code bash>yum install bnglogmon</code>  
  - Edit the file ''/etc/rsyslog.d/bng.conf'' — specify the server address and the sender’s IP address (if necessary, provide a specific IP).  
  - Enable automatic startup of ''bnglogmon'' at system boot:<code bash>systemctl enable bnglogmon.service</code>  

=====Execution=====  
  - Start bnglogmon:<code bash>systemctl start bnglogmon.service</code>  
  - Restart rsyslog:<code bash>systemctl restart rsyslog.service</code>  

=====Configuration=====  
The rsyslog daemon is configured according to the settings described in its [[https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/index.html|official documentation]].
