Consider a unix domain socket for log forwarding

Writing events to syslog is inefficient as they hit the disk and then some other forwarding agent needs to read the back out from disk, parse the xml and forward the events.

On Windows we can use ETW to bypass the logging system anyway but on linux this is not an option as there is no system level mechanism to intercept syslog in a more efficient way.

Having logs fill up the disk when you are going to forward them anyway is kind of pointless too.

It would be nice to have an option where sysmon could open a unix domain socket (or maybe even a tcp socket) where other programs can just read events directly from there and not have the events being written to disk.

Nell’issue non sono indicati file sorgente, test o punti di ingresso. Inizia individuando il percorso di emissione degli eventi Linux syslog e la relativa configurazione, quindi determina l’ambito di un’opzione socket diretta e come verificarne il comportamento; il lavoro è completato quando gli eventi possono essere consumati direttamente senza il passaggio intermedio su disco descritto.
