Peter Czanik<p>We expect a couple of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> releases in the near future. As version 4.8.1 is used in major <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Linux</span></a> distributions and has known bugs, we will release 4.8.2 to address those. However, we are also working on 4.9.0, which will bring many changes.<br /><a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/a-call-for-testing-the-upcoming-syslog-ng-releases" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/a-call-for-testing-the-upcoming-syslog-ng-releases</span></a></p>

Peter Czanik<p>The <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@FreeBSDFoundation" class="u-url mention">@<span>FreeBSDFoundation</span></a></span> 15 release schedule was just announced, but I already see people saying that &quot;looks good, I already use it in production&quot; :-) So, I installed the latest snapshot in a VM, and tested <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> on it.</p><p>As expected: syslog-ng works fine on it :-)</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog</span></a></p>

Peter Czanik<p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Elasticsearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Elasticsearch</span></a> is one of the most popular syslog-ng destinations. So, when the first beta of the upcoming version 9 was released, I gave it a try using the very latest <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> snapshot:</p><p><a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/testing-elasticsearch-9-0-0-beta1-with-syslog-ng" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/testing-elasticsearch-9-0-0-beta1-with-syslog-ng</span></a></p><p>TL;DR: there are some rough edges, but it works!</p>
Peter Czanik<p>Last week, I posted about running nightly <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/container" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>container</span></a> images on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/arm64" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>arm64</span></a>. However, you can also install syslog-ng directly on the host (in my case, a Raspberry Pi 3), running the latest <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Raspberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Raspberry</span></a> OS.</p><p><a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/installing-nightly-syslog-ng-arm64-packages-on-a-raspberry-pi" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/installing-nightly-syslog-ng-arm64-packages-on-a-raspberry-pi</span></a></p>
Peter Czanik<p>Recently we enabled nightly <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> builds and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/container" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>container</span></a> builds for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/arm64" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>arm64</span></a>. It means that from now on, you can run the latest syslog-ng on 64bit <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ARM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ARM</span></a> platforms.</p><p><a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/nightly-arm64-syslog-ng-container-builds-are-now-available" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/nightly-arm64-syslog-ng-container-builds-are-now-available</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LogManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LogManagement</span></a></p>
Peter Czanik<p>For many years, the development of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> happened on the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/master" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>master</span></a> branch in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Git" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Git</span></a>. However, if you follow that branch, you might have noticed that there has not been much activity on it lately. That is because we introduced a new <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/branch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>branch</span></a> in git called <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/develop" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>develop</span></a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/introducing-the-develop-branch-of-the-syslog-ng-git-repo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/introducing-the-develop-branch-of-the-syslog-ng-git-repo</span></a></p>
Peter Czanik<p>Each time a new major <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Elasticsearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Elasticsearch</span></a> version is released, someone asks if it works with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a>. So I gave it a quick test and based on that, Elasticsearch 9.0.0 beta1 works fine with syslog-ng. But of course, some terms and conditions apply… :-) <a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/testing-elasticsearch-9-0-0-beta1-with-syslog-ng" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/testing-elasticsearch-9-0-0-beta1-with-syslog-ng</span></a></p>

Peter Czanik<p>In my previous <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OneIdentity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OneIdentity</span></a> Active Roles blog, you learned how to forward <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Active" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Active</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Roles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Roles</span></a> logs to a central <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> server to parse and store the logs.

Peter Czanik<p>Soon, I&#39;ll leave towards the airport.
