+Welcome to Rsyslog
+==================
+
+`Rsyslog <http://www.rsyslog.com/>`_ is a **r**\ ocket-fast **sys**\ tem for **log** processing.
+It offers high-performance, great security features and a modular design.
+While it started as a regular syslogd, rsyslog has evolved into a kind of
+**swiss army knife of logging**, being able to
+
+- accept inputs from a wide variety of sources,
+- transform them,
+- and output the results to diverse destinations.
+
+Rsyslog has a strong enterprise focus but also scales down to small
+systems.
+It supports, among others, :doc:`MySQL <tutorials/database>`,
+:doc:`PostgreSQL <tutorials/database>`,
+:doc:`failover log destinations <tutorials/failover_syslog_server>`,
+ElasticSearch, syslog/tcp transport, fine grain output format control,
+high precision timestamps,
+queued operations and the ability to filter on any message part.
