syslog-ng is an open-source implementation of the syslog protocol for Unix and Unix-like systems. It offers some key features that build upon the syslog daemon, not least of which is the ability to send log messages to other systems using encryption and authentication.
It usually consists of a configuration file (usually /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf) and a directory (usually /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/) to store the filters and templates for processing syslog-ng rules in a structured form and separated by files.
