Description : The Netfilter Userspace Logging Daemon, version 2
ulogd is a daemon that listens for Netlink packets generated by iptables's
ULOG and NFLOG target, using ibnetfilter_log and libnetfilter_conntrack.
Basically, it's a replacement for syslog for logging packets,
and does a much better job - it logs to files, pcap files, MySQL, PostgreSQL,
SQLite 3 and soon will be able to log remotely.
.
MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite 3 support is in separate packages, called
ulogd-mysql, ulogd-pgsql and ulogd-sqlite3 respectively. pcap file support
is in package called ulogd-pcap.
Ulogd is already packaged in Debian, but I think ulogd2 should be proposed as
a separate package, because:
- they are completely different projects, supporting different targets (NFLOG)
or features (connection tracking)
- ulogd is still the stable daemon, for some time I think
- some applications are based on version 1, and a transition to v2 require
many changes
- both can be installed at the same time
- packages for ulogd2 will be completely different, for ex. using dbconfig
