+@subsubheading Rasdaemon Service
+
+The Rasdaemon service provides a daemon which monitors the platform Reliablity,
+Availability and Serviceability (RAS) reports from the Linux kernel trace
+events, logging them to syslogd.
+
+Reliability, Availability and Serviceability is a concept used on servers meant
+to measure their robustness.
+
+@strong{Relability} is the probability that a system will produce correct
+outputs:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item Generally measured as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and
+@item Enhanced by features that help to avoid, detect and repair hardware
+faults
+@end itemize
+
+@strong{Availability} is the probability that a system is operational at a
+given time:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item Generally measured as a percentage of downtime per a period of time, and
+@item Often uses mechanisms to detect and correct hardware faults in runtime.
+@end itemize
+
+@strong{Serviceability} is the simplicity and speed with which a system can be
+repaired or maintained:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item Generally measured on Mean Time Between Repair (MTBR).
+@end itemize
+
+
+Among the monitoring measures, the most usual ones include:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item CPU – detect errors at instruction execution and at L1/L2/L3 caches;
+@item Memory – add error correction logic (ECC) to detect and correct errors;
+@item I/O – add CRC checksums for transferred data;
+@item Storage – RAID, journal file systems, checksums, Self-Monitoring,
+Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART).
+@end itemize
+
+By monitoring the number of occurrences of error detections, it is possible to
+identify if the probability of hardware errors is increasing, and, on such
+case, do a preventive maintenance to replace a degraded component while those
+errors are correctable.
+
+For detailed information about the types of error events gathered and how to
+make sense of them, see the kernel administrator's guide at
+@url{https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/ras.html}.
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} rasdaemon-service-type
+Service type for the @command{rasdaemon} service.  It accepts a
+@code{rasdaemon-configuration} object.  Instantiating like
+
+@lisp
+(service rasdaemon-service-type)
+@end lisp
+
+will load with a default configuration, which monitors all events and logs to
+syslogd.
+@end defvr
+
+@deftp {Data Type} rasdaemon-configuration
+The data type representing the configuration of @command{rasdaemon}.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{record?} (default: @code{#f})
+
+A boolean indicating whether to record the events in an SQLite database.  This
+provides a more structured access to the information contained in the log file.
+The database location is hard-coded to @file{/var/lib/rasdaemon/ras-mc_event.db}.
