i just thought of that and goggling how to add columns or some
other similar scenarios, i think that the problem lays on how
syslog-ng send the logs in the DB. Or how DB is storing this
messages. As i have not configure nothing on the MongoDB just
username and password for already created DB by the syslog-ng. <br>
<br>
If some one have some tips, ill be happy to try it :)<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>

Thanks for the feedback. <br>
The problem is that im trying to monitor big
infrastructure ( 200 Physical servers and more than 1000
VMs ). So currently i have install with MongoDB and have
300MB for one week monitoring just two VMs. The server
syslog-ng and one client VM. Also i have used before
syslog-ng with MariaDB (MySQL) but i have problem that i
have 90% CPU Load when i used MySQL. I can't fix it. But
now using MongoDB i have other problems. Using
LogAnalyzer i can't see the "Date", "Facility",
Serverity etc. on a main page but when i go to the log
itself or i open it i can see all this informations. So
i have the following<br>
<br>
1. Syslog-NG with MySQL and LogAnalyzer ( works ok but
CPU Usage was big ) <br>
2. Syslog-NG with MongoDB and LogAnalyzer ( works ok but
no informations shown on a first page ) <br>
<br>
So i can't find solutions and i need this sh*** up and
running ASAP :) <br>
<br>
Any solutions or suggestions im open to see it !<br>
<br>
Kind regards<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<pre>My 2 cents (what works for you depends on your infrastructure, resources and capabilities)
I like the model where syslog-ng does all the following:
- writes text files of the raw data (that way - whatever your search head is can re-ingest files later using basically the same parsers)
- filters out highly false-positive prone data from being forwarded
- handles parsing of data elements (using patterndb or whatever) and sends specific information to a search engine (like Elasticsearch)
- forwards specific data (based on security use cases) to a SIEM
Whether you use Elasticsearch, mongo, splunk, or whatever is really up to you and your budget.
That said, I find syslog-ng to elasticsearch directly with kibana as the front end is *very* scalable for a search engine.
As far as a SIEM - it's kind of up to you.
Good luck,
Jim

<pre>Hi all,
What is the best practice for storing all those logs in one central
environment. I have one Linux Box running Syslog-NG with LogAnalyzer and
MongoDB ( for now ), and is the best way to configure and use it with
MongoDB or with MariaDB ( MySQL ) ? I have once install MySQL but it was
getting very slow as the logs getting bigger and bigger ( for one week ).
Now i have done with MongoDB ( still testing ) but i have problem as
LogAnalyzer does not show me the real pictures, i have no Date info, no
Facility, no serverity, Hosts, syslogtag, i just have ProcessID.
Any hints on this ?
I have the following configuration on the syslog-ng.cfg:
destination d_mongodb {
mongodb(
servers("localhost:27017")
database("logs")
# uri('mongodb://localhost/syslog-ng')
collection("syslog")
value-pairs(
scope("selected-macros" "nv-pairs" "sdata")
)
);
};
Kind regards
Ivan
