know what all features rsyslog has, but syslog-ng has all the ones you
mentioned. The sql support and solaris are both available in the OSE,
and the disk based buffering is available in PE. What does rsyslog have
that syslog-ng doesnt? Just curious.<br>

Subject: [syslog-ng] Syslog-NG OSE : a more and more difficult choice
to make.
<blockquote cite="mid:4C640C9E.6070205@cnamts.fr" type="cite">
<pre wrap="">Hello everybody,
I really enjoy the syntax, the stability, the flexibility and the so
clear and accurate documentation of Syslog-NG OSE. This is why I write
this post, I love the product, my message is definitively not a troll.
Despite above positive aspects, it is more and more difficult to choose
Syslog-NG OSE in corporate environment where you have Linux platforms
and others Unix flavors. Rsyslog comes with security and performance
features (sql driver, disk based bufferring, Solaris port etc) inside
whose can only be acquired through Premium Syslog-NG Edition.
If in the future, Rsyslog provides an AIX port on PPC architecture, I
really think it will be an ended story for Syslog-NG on corporate
environment : it will no more exist a technical reason to stay with an
open source under powered solution like Syslog-NG OSE or to buy a
solution while it exists an opensource solution with same / more features.
I really understand everybody has to earn its life, really. But the
current situation in the open source syslog products area is quite
difficult for Syslog-NG, that's why I wanted to point the above facts in
corporate environment out to you. I don't know how to do : more
appliances, more closed products, more consulting ... but the 2 flavors
(free and paid) of Syslog-NG are imho an each day harder choice to defend.
It is the message from a Syslog-NG user that would like to be able to
promote and use it in its company for a long time.
Thank you for your reading.
Bye
Christophe
