+gluon-logging
+=============
+
+The *gluon-logging* package allows to configure a remote syslog server that
+will receive the systems log output that is also visible when calling ``logread``
+from a terminal.
+
+It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints over UDP and TCP.
+
+Note: The syslog mechanism is incapable of providing a complete log as network
+access is required to send out log messages and ``logd`` does not buffer and resend
+older log messages even though they might be available in ``logread``.
+
+This package conflicts with ``gluon-web-logging`` as it will overwrite the
+user-given syslog server on every upgrade.
+
+site.conf
+---------
+
+syslog.ip : required
+    - Destination address of the remote syslog server
+
+syslog.port : optional
+    - Destination port of the remote syslog server
+    - Defaults to 514
+
+syslog.proto : optional
+    - Protocol to transport syslog frames in, can be either ``tcp`` or ``udp``
+    - Defaults to UDP
+
+Example::
+
+  syslog = {
+    ip = "2001:db8::1",
+    port = 514,
+    proto = "udp",
+  },
