rcl_logging_syslog uses SYSLOG(3) to send the log data to rsyslog a.k.a rocket-fast system for log processing :rocket: :rocket: :rocket:

The main objective is that

Enabling ROS 2 logging system with Cloud-Native Log Management and Observability .

Some updates for GitHub - fujitatomoya/rcl_logging_syslog: rcl_logging_syslog is alternative logging backend implementation that can be used for ROS 2 application via rcl_logging_interface. :rocket: :rocket: :rocket:

ROS 2 logging data goes to Grafana Monitor via rsyslod, Fluentd and Loki.
