Hi all, I'm currently a 3rd year undergraduate at University of Moratuwa, Sri lanka. I have attached my Linkedin profile with this mail [1]. I'd like to contribute to a GSoC 2016 project with the open source community of syslog-ng. I have contributed in log analyzing project LogAnalyzer [2] and also worked with logstash, kafka. Therefore, I think I can contribute syslog-ng project kafka source as I'm much interested in that. Please kindly make any suggestions on how I should proceed on this?

Error loading Python module for log destination
by Wil Koch 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi All, I am following the tutorial below in an attempt to get Python support for destinations, https://syslog-ng.gitbooks.io/getting-started/content/chapters/chapter_5/se… I have built syslog-ng-3.7.2 from source and have it up and running on Ubuntu 14.04. I initially had a simple log for iptables logging to a file to confirm functionality. After I changed my conf to include a Python destination, I am receiving the following error when starting syslog-ng at the command line, [2016-02-26T12:15:48.874748] Error loading Python module; module='betterpythonexample', exception='exceptions.ImportError: No module named betterpythonexample' [2016-02-26T12:15:48.874775] Error looking Python driver class; driver='python_to_file#0', class='betterpythonexample.TextDestination', exception='None' [2016-02-26T12:15:48.874782] Error initializing message pipeline; I have PYTHONPATH set to the directory where the script is, and I have confirmed the variable is working by importing the module in the python interpreter. Any suggestions for debugging would be much appreciated, I'm out of ideas. Thank you, Wil

simple subscription based interface?
by Árpád Magosányi 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi, The use case is a crystal box: everything (but keys) are public in the system, including logs. So I want to configure syslog-ng such that anyone can connect to it, and receives the logs. The simpler the interface, the better. I also would like to have some limit on the number of concurrent clients. Any way to achieve this with syslog-ng without using an additional stomp or amqp server? My syslog-ng version is 3.5.6-2. If there is a need for a message broker, could anyone suggest a free or dirt cheap one in the cloud?
