Syslog is a method for delivering log information from a sender to a receiver, typically across and IP network. The term syslog can be used to describe the protocol that is used to transfer messages, the application to send or receive the messages as well as the logs messages themselves.
- The syslog protocol and message format are defined in RFC 3164.
- RFC 3195 defines reliable delivery of syslog over UDP.
- There is also a draft RFC - exprires october 1. 2009 Signed syslog Messages to standardize security in syslog messages.
- Wikipedia syslog

It is possible to monitor output from a syslog identifier. In the example below syslog from the sshd daemon are logged tostdout
root@h5:/etc/sshguard# journalctl -afb -p info -n1 -t sshd -o cat
Connection reset by 198.235.24.119 port 58836 [preauth]
pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=127.0.0.1 user=root
Failed password for root from 127.0.0.1 port 45768 ssh2
Failed password for root from 127.0.0.1 port 45768 ssh2
Failed password for root from 127.0.0.1 port 45768 ssh2
Connection closed by authenticating user root 127.0.0.1 port 45768 [preauth]
