Technology explained
What is Syslog?
Syslog is a standard message format and transport family for sending system and application events to logging services. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.
Messages carry facility, severity, timestamp and source information, although implementations vary and traditional UDP transport does not guarantee delivery. Structured formats, TLS transport, buffering and time synchronisation improve evidential quality.
Primary purpose
Forward operational event messages from many systems into central logging pipelines.

Typical use cases
- Centralized log collection
