the good old syslog daemon

warning for gnu/linux

there has been some attempt to have sysklogd on debian in the past – but you need to build yourself as for 2024

otherwise there is GNU’s implementation as package

install

debian

    apt install inetutils-syslogd

setup

cd /etc/
mv -i syslog.conf syslog.conf.dist
grep -vE '^#|^$' syslog.conf.dist > syslog.conf.clean
grep -vE '^#|^$' syslog.conf.dist > syslog.conf

ready to go

systemctl restart inetutils-syslogd.service
systemctl status inetutils-syslogd.service
find /etc/rc*.d/ | grep syslog
