The continuation of the original sysklogd package, based on
the original Berkeley syslog daemon. Now with kernel
logging, and log rotation built-in. It can both receive from
and send to remote syslog servers. The v2.x series include
extended support for RFC5424 with an alt. syslogp() API for
clients.

help
Retry delay (seconds) for sending to remote syslog servers.
When set up to forward logs to a remote syslog server, the
network may not always be available. E.g., default interface
down, or no route to the remote server. This setting controls
the back-off time before retrying.
Default: 180 seconds
config BR2_PACKAGE_SYSKLOGD_LOGGER
bool "logger tool"
help
Generate log messages from scripts or from the command line.
This version of logger is receommended for use with sysklogd.
It makes use of the new syslogp() API for RFC5424 style logs,
e.g. MSGID, strucutred data (SD), etc.
The BusyBox, or util-linux, logger tools can also be used, but
are limited to RFC3164 style messages.
