What if I need more Reliability?

• Think about non-standard extensions, e.g. raw tcp syslog (some vendors do this)

• Try to implement the new standards (RFC3195!) as soon as possible

• Be sure to think about the “big picture” in a larger network

• Make sure the central syslog receiver is monitored and backed up! Use a redundant configuration if it is mission-critical. (reliability issue #1!)
