Sending Messages to a Remote Syslog Server rsyslog

In this recipe, we forward messages from one system to another one. This is used in a number of cases:
the local system does not store any messages (e.g. has not sufficient space to do so)
there is a (e.g. legal) requirement to consolidate all logs on a single system
the server may run some advanced alerting rules, and needs to have a full picture or network activity to work well

The example screenshots are graphs generated for the jQuery repository.
