NEWS<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n syslog-ng 3.37 released<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n Bal\u00e1zs Scheidler, founder of the syslog-ng project, describes the latest syslog-ng release: \u201csyslog-ng 3.37 has just been released, packages available in various platforms this week. You can get the detailed release notes on the github releases page, however I felt this would be a good opportunity to revisit my draft on the syslog-ng long term objectives and how this release builds in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n Read the rest of the blog at https:\/\/syslog-ng-future.blog\/syslog-ng-3-37-released\/<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n When (not) to use the syslog-ng disk-buffer<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n The syslog-ng disk buffer is one of the most often used syslog-ng options to ensure message delivery. However, it is not always necessary and using the safest variant has serious performance impacts. If you utilize disk-buffer in your syslog-ng configuration, it is worth to make sure that you use a recent syslog-ng version.<\/p>\n From this blog, you can learn when to use the disk-buffer option, the main differences between reliable and non-reliable disk-buffer, and why is it worth to use the latest syslog-ng version. https:\/\/www.syslog-ng.com\/community\/b\/blog\/posts\/when-not-to-use-the-syslog-ng-disk-buffer<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hardware for a syslog-ng server<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n What hardware to use for a syslog-ng server? It is a frequent question with no definite answer. It depends on many factors: the number and type of sources, the number of logs, the way logs are processed, and so on. My experience is that for the majority users even a Raspberry Pi would be enough. But of course, not for everyone. https:\/\/www.syslog-ng.com\/community\/b\/blog\/posts\/hardware-for-a-syslog-ng-server<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Analyzing Apache HTTPD logs in syslog-ng<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n Recently, I started my own blog, and as Google Analytics seems to miss a good part of visitors, I wanted to analyze my web server logs myself. I use syslog-ng to read Apache logs, process them, and store them to Elasticsearch. Along the way, I resolve the IP address using a Python parser, analyze the Agent field of the logs, and also use GeoIP to locate the user on the map.<\/p>\n From this blog, you can learn how I built my configuration. Note that once I was ready, I realized that my configuration is not GDPR compliant, so I also show you which parts to remove from the final configuration :-). https:\/\/www.syslog-ng.com\/community\/b\/blog\/posts\/analyzing-apache-httpd-logs-in-syslog-ng<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
