Syslog server chaining issue
by Maurya, Shivani 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Hi All, I am using 2 syslog servers on version 3.31. The devices are sending syslog message to 1st syslog server. The 1st syslog server is forwarding the same message to 2nd syslog server. Device --> Syslog Server 1 --> Syslog Server 2 The configurations of 1st syslog server - Options - keep-hostname(yes); use-dns(yes); use-fqdn(yes); Destination - destination d_sec { udp("IP_of_second_syslog" port(514) template("${ISODATE} ${HOST} ${PRIORITY} ${MSG}\n") template-escape(no)); }; The configuration of 2nd syslog server - destination d_syslogFile { file("/var/log/syslog.log" template("${R_ISODATE} ${HOST} ${PRIORITY} ${FACILITY} ${PROGRAM} ${MSG}\n") template-escape(no)); }; Problem - When the syslog message is getting logged at 2nd Syslog server, the ${PRIORITY} of the message is always "notice". And the original severity/priotity of the message is getting captured in the ${PROGRAM} macro. How to capture the priority of the forwarded message on 2nd Syslog server in the ${PRIORITY} macro instead of ${PROGRAM} macro? Regards, Shivani Maurya

The syslog-ng Insider 2024-12: FreeBSD audit; 4.8.1; conferences
by Peter Czanik (pczanik) 05 Dec '24

Dear syslog-ng users, This is the 126th issue of syslog-ng Insider, a monthly newsletter that brings you syslog-ng-related news. NEWS FreeBSD audit source for syslog-ng ---------------------------------- Two weeks ago, I was at EuroBSDcon and received a feature request for syslog-ng. The user wanted to collect FreeBSD audit logs together with other logs using syslog-ng. Writing a native driver in C is time consuming. However, creating an integration based on the program() source of syslog-ng is not that difficult. This blog shows you the current state of the FreeBSD audit source, how it works, and its limitations. It is also a request for feedback. https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/freebsd-audit-source-for-s… Version 4.8.1 of syslog-ng is now available ------------------------------------------- Version 4.8.1 was released recently. As you could guess from the version number change, it is primarily a bug fix release, but some minor features also slipped in. From this blog, you can learn what changed in syslog-ng 4.8.1 and where you can get its latest stable version. https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/version-4-8-1-of-syslog-ng… Where should I present syslog-ng and sudo? ------------------------------------------ Recently I was asked the same question both at my workplace and at EuroBSDCon, the conference where I was presenting: where do you talk next? I had no definite answer. Of course, I am looking forward to the FOSDEM CfP, but I am also looking for new conferences to present syslog-ng and sudo. Do you have any recommendations? https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/where-should-i-present-sys… WEBINARS * New webinar: “Performance tuning for syslog-ng deployments”. You can register for it at https://www.syslog-ng.com/event/performance-tuning-for-syslog-ng-deployment… * You can learn about upcoming webinars and browse recordings of past webinars at https://www.syslog-ng.com/events/ Your feedback and news, or tips about the next issue are welcome.
