RFC 3195
RFC 3195 is a relatively new IETF standard.
It specifies how
syslog messages
can reliably be transmitted via a TCP connection.
RFC 3195 optionally allows
for message encryption and authentication of sender and reciver.
Adiscon's MonitorWare line of products
implement the core RFC 3195 protocol
(actually, Adiscon
was the first one to do this on the Windows platform). Under
UNIX, rsyslog and SDSC syslog
are known to support RFC 3195. Our liblogging
project enables your own applications to "talk" 3195.
The formal specification for RFC 3195 can be found in the
IETF RFC repository.
During its creation, RFC 3195 was known as "syslog-reliable". Many people
still use this name to refer to it.
Further information on RFC 3195 and currently available implementations can be
found at http://www.syslog.cc/ietf/rfcs/3195.html.
There is also a
mailing list
available for implementors and users of RFC 3195.
