It's basically using syslog-ng as a converter from UDP syslog packets
from remote routers and sending those messages into a specific format
into a JFFNMS database.

It has a clause in their configuration to pass the syslog messages
in the following format:
template("INSERT INTO syslog (date, date_logged, host, message) VALUES
('$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', NOW\(\), '$FULLHOST',
'$MSG');\n")
It's documented here:
