In my opinion, the best features rsyslog server offers include the ability to send enormous logs from client OS to server devices, which I can fix with scripts. I can easily identify the host machine and what kind of logs it contains, whether it is an application log or operation log, and it sorts them based on how I write the script, allowing it to redirect and resend the logs. These features make my day-to-day work easier and more efficient because whenever I find any failure or boot problems in a client machine, I can easily identify the issue. I can go to the log machine and check what kind of problem it is, whether it is a web server crash or a main server crash, and based on the logs and messages, I can easily identify and troubleshoot the issues. Furthermore, I can monitor and audit the logs as well, including SSH logins, and track who last logged in and who is currently logged in on the machines, as well as easily track any failed login attempts in case of suspicious activities. rsyslog server has positively impacted my organization by providing centralized logging for our machines. I implemented it for the servers, database, application servers, and some network devices as well. I get day-to-day logs, which I can monitor easily and audit those devices, impacting our day-to-day productivity.
