Many syslog-ng users are in the process of upgrading from version 2.0 or even from more ancient versions to 3.X. The 2.0 version was very popular, as it was in the previous version of Debian, many versions of openSUSE and v2.0.9 is still the default logger in SLES, the Enterprise version of the SUSE Linux distribution. So recently we are often asked, what is new in the 3.X series.

For many years, I was looking for a good and affordable e-book reader. I read a lot on the computer, as many text I read are not available in a printed form. Some of them would be even obsolete before I could print them :-) But being environmentally cautious, I try to avoid printing anyway whenever it is possible. Reading from the screen has many disadvantages: it's not so friendly to the eyes and also one can easily be disturbed by incoming e-mail, instant messages, etc. But this Christmas finally brought me an e-book reader!

syslog-ng 3.4
http://github.com/bazsi/syslog-ng-3.4.git
Older releases (like 3.2) ...

FEATURED ...syslog-ng flexibility improvements

Post categories: Balabit, Technology

syslog-ng is often referred as a very flexible application when it comes to processing logs. Over the years however, I began to feel that some things are a bit more difficult to achieve in the configuration language than it should be. For instance it is sometimes too rigid when you need a combination of parsers ...
