Peter Czanik<p>Last year, we published a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Prometheus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Prometheus</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/exporter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>exporter</span></a> for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a>, implemented in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a>. However, syslog-ng 4.9.0 will include one that runs as part of syslog-ng. Needless to say, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/testing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>testing</span></a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/feedback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feedback</span></a> are very welcome!<br><a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/prometheus-exporter-in-syslog-ng" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/prometheus-exporter-in-syslog-ng</span></a><br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LogManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LogManagement</span></a></p>
Peter Czanik<p>Some of our most active users chose syslog-ng because of its detailed and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/accurate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accurate</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/documentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>documentation</span></a> ( <a href="https://syslog-ng.github.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">syslog-ng.github.io/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> ). Later I received complaints that it is too detailed, and we need a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/tutorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tutorial</span></a>: <a href="https://peter.czanik.hu/posts/syslog-ng-tutorial-toc/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">peter.czanik.hu/posts/syslog-n</span><span class="invisible">g-tutorial-toc/</span></a> . This time, I was asked for something even shorter. Here you are: <a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/your-first-steps-configuring-syslog-ng" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/your-first-steps-configuring-syslog-ng</span></a> :-)<br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LogManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LogManagement</span></a></p>
Peter Czanik<p>Most <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Java</span></a>-based drivers have been deprecated in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> years ago, and removed while preparing for 4.9.0. The only Java-based driver remaining is <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HDFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HDFS</span></a>, so we want to ask the syslog-ng community if the HDFS destination is still needed for them.<br><a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/deprecating-java-based-drivers-from-syslog-ng-is-hdfs-next" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog</span><span class="invisible">/posts/deprecating-java-based-drivers-from-syslog-ng-is-hdfs-next</span></a></p>
Peter Czanik<p>Bug fix releases for syslog-ng 4.8 are already out. However, 4.9.0 is still ahead of us. My call for testing <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> is still live for that:</p><p><a href="https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/a-call-for-testing-the-upcoming-syslog-ng-releases" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><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><p>File and directory monitoring became a lot more efficient on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>, and there are many more changes.</p>
Peter Czanik<p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syslog_ng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>syslog_ng</span></a> version 4.8.3 is now available. It is a re-release of 4.8.2.
