============
Introduction
============

**syslogng_kafka** provides a `Python`_ module for `syslog-ng`_ >= 3.7 allowing one
to filter and forward syslog messages to `Apache Kafka`_ brokers.

The implementation leverages `confluent-kafka`_ which uses the awesome `librdkafka`_
library providing reliability and high performance.

**Please read the** `doc`_ **as in most cases a `pip install` won't work as they are particular requirements that are currently not met by mainstream Linux distribution.**
