README for Debian ulogd2 package
================================

Sample configuration
--------------------
The default configuration in /etc/ulogd.conf is set up to consume log entries
using NFLOG and send them to /var/log/ulog/syslogemu.log with syslog emulation.
A copy of the standard configuration is included in
/usr/share/doc/ulogd2/examples/ulogd.conf.gz for reference purposes.

Upgrading from ulogd 1.x
------------------------
Please note that the ulogd2 package does not consume logs from the kernel using
the ULOG target by default. If you are using the ULOG target, you will need to
edit /etc/ulogd.conf to enable this. Alternatively, consider changing your
firewall to log using the NFLOG target instead, which offers numerous advantages
including being available for use with IPv6.

Additional logging targets
--------------------------
Support for logging into MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite 3 databases is available
from separate packages called ulogd2-mysql, ulogd2-pgsql and ulogd2-sqlite3 
respectively. There is also support for logging to SQL databases using the DBI
abstraction layer available in ulogd2-dbi.

You can also log packets in pcap file format, using package ulogd2-pcap.

Don't forget to adapt your /etc/ulogd.conf to those modules. Example 
configuration is included.
