NAME

       ulogd - netfilter/iptables logging daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ulogd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       ulogd  is  a  logging daemon that reads event messages coming from the Netfilter connection tracking, the
       Netfilter packet logging subsystem and from the  Netfilter  accounting  subsystem.  You  have  to  enable
       support for connection tracking event delivery; ctnetlink and the NFLOG target in your Linux kernel 2.6.x
       or load their respective modules. The deprecated ULOG target (which has been superseded by NFLOG) is also
       supported.

       The received messages can be logged into files or into a mySQL, sqlite3 or PostgreSQL database. IPFIX and
       Graphite output are also supported.
