Syslog

Syslog is a standard for forwarding log messages in IP networks. This protocol is typically used for managing computer systems and performing security audits integrating log data from many different types of systems into a central repository.

Syslog is a client/server protocol: the Syslog sender sends a small textual message (Syslog message) to the Syslog receiver.
