Send GELF log messages to Syslog-NG server
by Roberto Carna 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hi people, a Graylog server is sending GELF log messages to my Syslog-NG server listening on the UDP/514 port. But when I was reading the message, I noticed it's in binary format. Maybe syslog-ng service converts GELF to binary, because the log is not in syslog format. Is it possible to make Syslog-NG listen on the UDP/12201 port for incoming GELF messages, in addition to UDP/514 syslog port ? Or what can I do to accept GELF messages in the Syslog-NG server and then read them in ASCII format ? Thanks a lot!

The syslog-ng Insider 2024-08: 4.8.0 release; Prometheus; Amazon Linux

Dear syslog-ng users, This is the 122nd issue of syslog-ng Insider, a monthly newsletter that brings you syslog-ng-related news. NEWS Version 4.8.0 of syslog-ng improves FreeBSD and MacOS support ------------------------------------------------------------- Recently One Identity released version 4.8.0 of its open-source log management application. Learn about some of the new features and bug fixes: why upgrade to the latest syslog-ng version, not only on FreeBSD :-) https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/version-4-8-0-of-syslog-ng… syslog-ng Prometheus exporter ----------------------------- Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system that collects metrics from your hosts and applications, allowing you to visualize and alert on them. The syslog-ng Prometheus exporter allows you to export syslog-ng statistics, so that Prometheus can collect it. While an implementation in Go has been available for years on GitHub (for more information, see this blog entry), that solution uses the old syslog-ng statistics interface. And while that Go-based implementation still works, syslog-ng 4.1 introduced a new interface that provides not just more information than the previous statistics interface, but does so in a Prometheus-friendly format. The information available through the new interface has been growing ever since. The syslog-ng Prometheus exporter is implemented in Python. It also uses the new statistics interface, making new fields automatically available when added. https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/syslog-ng-prometheus-expor… Experimental syslog-ng packages for Amazon Linux 2023 ----------------------------------------------------- Last year, I received many requests about syslog-ng for Amazon Linux 2023, but I could not find an easy way to create syslog-ng packages. Recently, however, I found that Fedora Copr supports building packages for Amazon Linux 2023. So, with a little bit of experimentation, I got a cut down version of syslog-ng compiled. https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/experimental-syslog-ng-pac… WEBINARS * You can browse recordings of past webinars at https://www.syslog-ng.com/events/ Your feedback and news, or tips about the next issue are welcome.
