One of the core dependencies of #syslog_ng is the #ivykis library. We have a few #FreeBSD specific fixes in our ivykis fork, however the syslog-ng port uses ivykis from ports instead of the bundled version. I am now working on making it selectable. #Testing and help are welcome. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

The October #syslog_ng newsletter is now on-line: - Syslog-ng #Java destination disabled - Syslog-ng 4.12.0 available for #Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute) - Syslog-ng #journald source: how to avoid log bombs on errors? Read more at syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

Syslog-ng repo for #Amazon #Linux 2023 updated to #syslog_ng version 4.12 syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

Does syslog-ng support the latest @OpenSearchProj version? I suspected that the answer was yes, but I gave it a try anyway. And as expected, starting to use #OpenSearch 3.9 with #syslog_ng is a smooth experience. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

My @turris_cz Omnia #Linux #router is 10 years old. It not just works fine, but still receives regular software updates. Today's update also installs the latest #syslog_ng: • Updated package syslog-ng from version 4.11.0-r1 to version 4.12.0-r1

Two years ago, I created a #syslog_ng repo for #AmazonLinux 2023. As I received zero feedback, I left it alone until last week. The repo is now updated to the latest version of syslog-ng: 4.12. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… #LogManagement #AWS

The September #syslog_ng #newsletter is now available on-line: - New #performance #tuning possibilities in syslog-ng - Nightly syslog-ng #containers based on #AlmaLinux - The status of #OpenSSL 4.0 support in syslog-ng - #Learning syslog-ng You can read more at syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

There are quite a few possibilities if you want to #learn #syslog_ng: - syslog-ng #tutorial - #documentation - use cases: blogs - instructor led #training You can find more about these at syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… #LogManagement

Recently, I heard complaints within the #syslog_ng community that using #Elasticsearch is not that easy anymore. I installed Elasticsearch 9.5 with #Kibana to verify these claims. Read more at: syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

Most of August, I was on #vacation, but now I’m back and I try catching up on the #syslog_ng events of the past weeks. Currently, we are #fixing issues and #reviewing contributions, but we also discussed scaling back our efforts on syslog-ng #Java support. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

After being away for weeks on #vacation and other reasons, I'm back. I'm trying to catch up with the real world and resume #syslog_ng #blogging. Do you have any topics you would like me to cover in the syslog-ng #blog?

Good news for those reading my #syslog_ng #openssl 4.0 blog at the original publication date: version 4.12 of syslog-ng is now available, and openssl 4.0 is supported without backporting patches: syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… #LogManagement

For many years, I didn’t think that #Tor could be useful for me. However, I’ve recently found a Gist on #GitHub that describes how you can use it to #harden #syslog_ng on #FreeBSD. And while I have yet to try it, at least now I have a reason to test Tor. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

We are removing #HDFS support from #syslog_ng, the last driver written in #Java. As a #scream test, I started to disable Java support in syslog-ng on @openSUSE and @fedora. Let us know, if you use the Java destination with your own code! syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… #LogManagement

Choose your poison: Up until version 4.12, when #syslog_ng ran into an error jumping to a saved #systemd journal position, it read the #journal from the beginning. With the latest syslog-ng version, you can configure what happens in case of such an error. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

Recently I was asked if #syslog_ng supports #Ubuntu 26.04 (Ubuntu Resolute). Yes, and with the arrival of the syslog-ng 4.12.0 release we also provide ready-to-use packages for it. The release notes mention it, and info is in the #Readme on #GitHub. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

For many years, syslog-ng used #Java, where #C libraries were unavailable. However, over the years native C libraries became available for #Elasticsearch and #Kafka, and #HDFS practically disappeared. As a “#scream #test”, I am going to disable Java support in all of my syslog-ng packages. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

Version 4.12.0, the latest version of #syslog_ng is now also available in #FreeBSD ports. A huge thanks goes to Cy Schubert for committing it. As usual, @FreshPorts has more info on #syslog_ng in ports, including links to related commits: freshports.org/sysutils/sysl…

Last week #syslog_ng 4.12.0 was released. It comes now with RHEL RPMs next to DEB packages. My versioned #RHEL / #Fedora and #openSUSE / #SLES repos are still prepared: syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… Note that my RHEL 10 build failed and needs investigation.

Version 4.12.0 of syslog-ng is not yet available in #FreeBSD ports. If you need the latest #syslog_ng quickly, you can also use my test repo from github.com/czanik/freebsd/tr… This is what is normally committed to ports with minimal modifications. Or wait a bit for the official commit.
