Compiling syslog-ng with database support for CentOS 5 & Co.
Recently more and more people want to use syslog-ng with database support enabled on CentOS 5, RHEL5 & Co. The syslog-ng package in EPEL does not support it, as libdbi there is too old. But compiling your own database enabled syslog-ng is not a difficult job. This howto is based on input from the syslog-ng mailing list, but tries to install less additional software to the system.
EPEL6 brings syslog-ng to the latest RHEL, CentOS and SL
The EPEL project (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) provides Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivatives with additional high quality packages. Syslog-ng was available for EPEL5 for a long time and is now also added to EPEL6, which provides packages for RHEL6. CentOS is gaining a strong presence in web serving, as almost one third of web servers are now running on this OS: http://blogs.computerworld.com/16596/the_most_popular_web_server_linux_is CentOS 6 should be released any day now. Scientific Linux ( http://www.scientificlinux.org/ ) is developed at CERN and used world wide by the research and higher education community. Version 6 of SL is already available.
