 %description
 Forwards messages from the journal to other hosts over the network
 using the Syslog Protocol (RFC 5424 and RFC 3339). It can be configured
-to send messages to both unicast and multicast addresses. systemd-netlogd
-runs with own user systemd-journal-netlog. Starts sending logs when network
-is up and stops sending as soon as network is down (uses sd-network).
-It reads from journal and forwards to network one by one. It does not
-use any extra disk space. systemd-netlogd supports UDP, TCP, TLS and DTLS
-(Datagram Transport Layer Security RFC 6012).
