GSoC Improve Developer Guide Project
by Victor Ma 09 May '19

09 May '19

Hi, I will be working on a plugin programming guide for this year's Google Summer of Code. It will cover source drivers, parsers, filter functions, and template functions. Each section will come with a hopefully-useful-on-its-own example plugin to aid in the explanation. My proposal can be found here: https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/wiki/GSoC-2019-Proposal:-Improve-Devel… I am a rising junior at the University of Toronto. I plan to graduate with a major in computer science and minors in philosophy and creative writing. Up-and-coming logger, Victor Ma

Information regarding Syslog-ng
by Nitish Saboo 08 May '19

08 May '19

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask these generic questions.Let me know if I have to post these questions on some other forum to get the correct information. 1) What is the latest syslog-ng version ? 2) Does syslog-ng has an enterprise edition , I mean a licensed version or It has only community edition ? 3)Does the latest version contain all the bug-fixes ? Thanks, Nitish

Syslog-ng options bad_hostname & check_hostname
by Delon Lee Di Lun 08 May '19

08 May '19

Hi, Anybody used the syslog-ng options bad_hostname & check_hostname? How does that works? I have syslog-ng listening on UDP, and found that there are some gibberish logs in the folder. Was thinking if using the above two options would help reduce the gibberish. Yours Sincerely, Delon

But, there is no syslog process listening on port 514 or any other port. I did try upgrading to a more recent version 3.19 from here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/czanik/syslog-ng319/repo/epel-7/cza… however this is an Amazon linux instance and it appears to conflict with some of the operating system packages. I thought I would check in with you one more time to see if you have any other suggestions; otherwise, I can try Centos and a more recent version of syslog-ng.

You are using a version (3.2) which as far as I can see did not have *network* keyword at all. Instead of *network*, you could use tcp, udp, tls, ... Or even better upgrade to something much newer if possible :) The "Avaiable-Modules" is also a later feature, so that was a reason not to show up the list of modules, not the lack of them. -- Kokan On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 9:41 PM Simon Tyler <simon.tyler(a)aon.com> wrote: > Hi Kohan, > > It appears that modules are not loading? > > [root@ip-10-8-41-60 syslog-ng]# syslog-ng -V > syslog-ng 3.2.5 > Installer-Version: 3.2.5 > Revision: ssh+git://bazsi@git.balabit > //var/scm/git/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-ose--mainline--3.2#master#9d4bea28198bd731df1a61e980a2af5b88d81116 > Compile-Date: Jul 25 2014 15:20:50 > Enable-Threads: on > Enable-Debug: off > Enable-GProf: off > Enable-Memtrace: off > Enable-Sun-STREAMS: off > Enable-IPv6: on > Enable-Spoof-Source: on > Enable-TCP-Wrapper: on > Enable-SSL: off > Enable-SQL: on > Enable-Linux-Caps: off > Enable-Pcre: on > Enable-Pacct: off > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > I tried putting full path to modules.conf in scl.conf: > > [root@ip-10-8-41-60 syslog-ng]# cat scl.conf > > ############################################################################# > # Copyright (c) 2010 BalaBit IT Ltd, Budapest, Hungary > # > # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it > # under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as published > # by the Free Software Foundation, or (at your option) any later version. > # > # As an additional exemption you are allowed to compile & link against the > # OpenSSL libraries as published by the OpenSSL project.

syslog-ng for filtering and execute external application
by Thomas Schmiedl 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hello, I use the mediaserver xupnpd2 (https://github.com/clark15b/xupnpd2) on the router to show HLS streams on the TV. Unfortunately, the software is no longer maintained by the original developer (I'm not a developer myself). The HLS processing would have to be revised. My idea is to start a ffmpeg and a local web server on the router, if I want to display the stream (the script xupnpd.lua will be executed, which starts ffmpeg etc.). Unfortunately there is not such a script when terminating the stream (exit ffmpeg etc.). xupnpd2 uses a log where you can track the start as well as the ending of the stream. Since the router has only a small amount of internal memory to write and analyze a logfile, I have the question, if I could use syslog-ng to filter the start and stop of the stream and execute an action "ffmpeg stop" and "delete video segments". I have very little Linux knowledge, maybe you can help me. Here is the excerpt from the xupnpd2 log (Loglevel 8). When starting the stream: run child, pid = 1715 using handler 'hls' for '... URL ...' When stopping the stream: exit child, pid = 1715 Best regards, Thomas Schmiedl
