Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2023-9adf4a31cc
2023-09-07 22:59:29.614770
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : netconsd
Product     : Fedora 39
Version     : 0.3
Release     : 1.fc39
URL         : https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/netconsd/
Summary     : The Netconsole Daemon
Description :
This is a daemon for receiving and processing logs from the Linux Kernel, as
emitted over a network by the kernel's netconsole module. It supports both the
old "legacy" text-only format, and the new extended format added in v4.4.

The core of the daemon does nothing but process messages and drop them: in order
to make the daemon useful, the user must supply one or more "output modules".
These modules are shared object files which expose a small ABI that is called by
netconsd with the content and metadata for netconsole messages it receives.
