The philosophy of AxoSyslog

Typically, AxoSyslog is used to manage log messages and implement centralized logging, where the aim is to collect the log messages of several devices on a single, central log server. The different devices — called AxoSyslog clients — all run AxoSyslog, and collect the log messages from the various applications, files, and other sources. The clients send all important log messages to the remote AxoSyslog server, which sorts and stores them.
