busybox syslogd

BusyBox syslogd is a lightweight syslog server implemented as part of the BusyBox project. Syslog is a standard protocol used for logging system messages in many Unix-like operating systems. BusyBox syslogd provides a simplified yet functional implementation of this protocol, allowing system logs to be centrally collected and managed.

Syslogd in BusyBox can be configured and started with various options, such as specifying the log file to write to, setting the log level, defining log formats, and enabling remote logging. By default, it listens on UDP port 514 for incoming syslog messages.

To start BusyBox syslogd, you can use the following command:

syslogd

Additional command-line options can be used to customize its behavior based on your requirements.
