Using FIPS complaint OpenSSL with syslog-ng OSE
by Saurabh Shukla 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

Hi, I see that syslog-ng OSE uses OpenSSL libraries for TLS support. If my system has FIPS complaint OpenSSL installed, will syslog-ng OSE use those FIPS compliant libraries for TLS support? Do I need any change in the syslog-ng OSE's configuration for this? Thanks, -- Saurabh Shukla

Host/port from environment variables
by Peter Flood 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hi I'm trying configure syslog-ng, I'd like to be able to use environment variables for host & port. I've tried the ones that work in the template formatter but it's not working (not suprisingly). Is there another way? destination d_my_dest { tcp("$(env MY_HOST)" port($(env MY_PORT)) # this doesn't work as you can't get env vars unless in a template tls(peer-verify(required-untrusted) ca_dir("/etc/syslog-ng/cert.d")) template(myTemplate)); }; Thanks

Trying to get json out of 3.7beta2
by Russell Fulton 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hi Thanks to various folks I managed to build 3.7b2 with json. I am now trying to convert my ELSA config to produce a parsed output in json that I can feed into Elastic Search. Having failed to make my full config work (I had to try ;) so I tried a basic one based on https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-… [ Aside: minor syntax error on this page — lnside log {} you can not name parser elements ] here is my conf: @version: 3.7 source s_json { network(port(1514) flags(no-parse)); }; destination d_json { file("/data/russell/test.json” template("$(format-json --scope dot-nv-pairs)\n")); }; log { source(s_json); parser { json-parser (prefix(".json.")); }; destination(d_json); }; I get no output and ‘stats’ shows: [rful011@secmgrprd01 ~]$ sudo /usr/local/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng-ctl stats SourceName;SourceId;SourceInstance;State;Type;Number src.none;;;a;processed;0 src.none;;;a;stamp;0 source;s_json;;a;processed;19375 global;payload_reallocs;;a;processed;25710 global;msg_clones;;a;processed;0 destination;d_json;;a;processed;0 center;;queued;a;processed;0 global;sdata_updates;;a;processed;0 center;;received;a;processed;19375 global;internal_queue_length;;a;processed;19378 Which is the same as I get with my full config with lots of patterns. As usual am missing something basic!

by Russell Fulton 05 Jul '15

Hi I have installed the libjson-devel package via yum but ./configure says: checking for JSON: no the library is in /lib64 and headers in /usr/include/json-c/ I can’t figure out what configure options I need to get this to work. Thanks, Russell

Have compiled and installed eventlog-0.2.12 (into /usr/local/syslog-ng). Now trying to compile syslog-ng I'm hitting the error shown at the end. Following commands were used to configure the environment for the compile export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/syslog-ng/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/syslog-ng --enable-sun-streams --enable-tcp-wrapper --enable-ipv6 --enable-sql --enable-ssh --with-ld-library-path=/usr/local/syslog-ng/lib --disable-amqp --enable-sun-door Any suggestions ?
