Description : Reliable Event Logging Protocol (RELP) library
RELP provides reliable event logging over the network.
.
RELP (and hence) librelp assures that no message is lost, not even when
connections break and a peer becomes unavailable. The current version of
RELP has a minimal window of opportunity for message duplication after a
session has been broken due to network problems. In this case, a few messages
may be duplicated (a problem that also exists with plain tcp syslog). Future
versions of RELP will address this shortcoming.
.
Please note that RELP is a general-purpose, extensible logging protocol. Even
though it was designed to solve the urgent need of rsyslog-to-rsyslog
communication, RELP supports many more applications. Extensible command verbs
provide ample opportunity to extend the protocol without affecting existing
applications.
