Version 3.23.1 of syslog-ng is now available in EPEL 8. It has most, but not all of the syslog-ng features available.</div>

Missing features:</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<ul>
<li>kafka destination, C implementation, as librdkafka is too old</li><li>Java destination drivers (kafka, elastic, hdfs), as sources necessary to compile them are not in the distro. Note, that Elastic is supported through elastic-http()<br>
</li><li>tcp wrapper, as support was removed from RHEL</li><li>riemann does not have sub-second precision, as client in EPEL is too old</li></ul>
<div>As missing dependencies arrived to EPEL 8, right now the official EPEL 8 syslog-ng package has more features enabled, than my own experimental EPEL 8 package

Once 3.25.1 is released, I hope to support RHEL/CentOS 8 from my regular syslog-ng repositories. The difference is not as big as it was before missing dependencies became available, but I still need to figure out some RPM spec magic

EPEL 8 stays at 3.23 (no version update is allowed there). There are plans to allow new versions into EPEL with each new minor RHEL release, but seeing is believing. It was promised for too many years.</div>
