<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,<br><br>"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" as I don't know how reliable download statistics for the Fedora Copr build service are. On the other hand right now it seems that syslog-ng Redhat 6 had almost 100x more downloads during the last seven days than for RHEL 7 and any Fedora releases combined. 228k downloads in a week for RHEL 6 and <3k for the rest. My guess is (I only see the numbers, not where the downloads originated) that AWS Linux AMI is based on RHEL 6 and that's why numbers are so high. But even without AWS about 1/4 to 1/3 of RHEL users seems to be still on RHEL6. My guess is, that not counting embedded users (Kindle, BMW, Synology, NI, etc.) about 20% of our users is affected by this problem (SLES11, older ubuntu LTS releases are also affected).<br><br></div>Bye,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Peter Czanik (CzP) <<a href="mailto:peter.czanik@balabit.com" target="_blank">peter.czanik@balabit.com</a>><br>Balabit / syslog-ng upstream<br><a href="https://www.balabit.com/blog/author/peterczanik/" target="_blank">https://www.balabit.com/blog/author/peterczanik/</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/PCzanik" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/PCzanik</a></div></div></div></div>

Give that Redhat 6 is fully supported by Redhat until 2020 (2 more years) I am very disappointed that it has been abandoned by the syslog-ng developers. There are a number of memory leaks and performance fixes that are in syslog-ng 3.10 and later that can not be ported to the Redhat 6 platform.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Good morning,<br>
<br>
<br>
I am currently running syslog-ng OSE version 3.7 and RHEL 6. I'm trying to update my syslog-ng OSE through EPEL. It looks like the only way to get syslog-ng v3.12 is from RHEL 7. What is the latest version of syslog-ng OSE that is supported by RHEL 6?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
