Insider 2018-06: 3.15; ARM; Big Data; journald; Elasticsearch; conferences;
by Czanik, Péter 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Dear syslog-ng users, This is the 67th issue of syslog-ng Insider, a monthly newsletter that brings you syslog-ng-related news. NEWS syslog-ng 3.15 is released -------------------------- Version 3.15 of syslog-ng is now available. Support was added for if / elif / else blocks, which can simplify syslog-ng configuration considerably. Improved debug and error messages make finding configuration problems easier. Support for basic client-side failover was added. For a complete list of changes, check https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-3.15.1. For binary packages, check https://syslog-ng.com/3rd-party-binaries. Debian ARM builds ----------------- Starting with version 3.15, the unofficial syslog-ng Debian build is also available for ARM v7. It has all of the features of the x86 edition. The build is made for Debian 9.0 and tested on a Raspberry Pi, but it most likely works on recent editions of Raspbian as well. It is available at https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/De…. Big Data: save all or save costs? --------------------------------- When starting a new project, Big Data vendors usually recommend a “save all” and “save raw” approach, as you never know what data might come in handy later on and in what format. Companies starting those projects also often have the same approach, as they still have their infrastructure under heavy development. Both go on the assumption that storage is practically free compared to the value of data. But is it really so? Learn more at https://syslog-ng.com/blog/big-data-save-save-costs/. syslog-ng vs. systemd’s journald -------------------------------- People often ask what to use: systemd’s journald or syslog-ng? The quick answer is that most likely both, but it depends on how you use your computer(s). If you have a single standalone machine, journald is probably enough. There is even a nice desktop application to view the logs in the journal. But once you have multiple machines to manage, using syslog-ng has many advantages. Read more at https://news.opensuse.org/2018/04/30/syslog-ng-vs-systemds-journald/. Storing logs in Elasticsearch using syslog-ng --------------------------------------------- Get started with sending logs directly to Elasticsearch using syslog-ng. Find out how to parse data with syslog-ng, store it in Elasticsearch, and analyze it with Kibana. Learn about the basics of using syslog-ng and Elasticsearch 6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS. Discover how to send netdata metrics through syslog-ng to Elasticsearch. Read our technical white paper at https://pages.balabit.com/storing-logs-in-elasticsearch-using-syslog-ng.html Containers and automation: five conferences in two words -------------------------------------------------------- In the past couple of weeks I visited five different conferences in four different countries either as a speaker or as booth staff. Altogether I had a chance to present syslog-ng to thousands of people and discuss syslog-ng and logging in general with hundreds. Except for a Big Data event in Budapest, I could summarize the conferences in two words: containers and automation. Of course, all events covered other diverse topics as well, but the main themes were these two. Let me give you a quick overview of the events: https://syslog-ng.com/blog/containers-automation-five-conferences-two-words/. Your feedback and news, or tips about the next issue are welcome at documentation(a)balabit.com.

Issue with Juniper SRX structured stream logs getting parsed by syslog-ng
by Brad Riemann 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hello, I've been banging my head against the wall for a while with this issue, I have a Juniper SRX that sends traffic logs to syslog-ng (centos 6, 6, version 3.13.2-2), the key being they are structured so the look like the following. [2018-06-12T19:03:54.384014] Incoming log entry; line='<14>1 2018-06-12T19:03:54.125Z corefw-site-0 RT_FLOW - RT_FLOW_SESSION_CLOSE [junos(a)2636.1.1.1.2.40 reason="idle Timeout" source-address="10.1.1.1" source-port="56998" destination-address="0.0.0.0" destination-port="443" service-name="junos-https" nat-source-address="10.100.1.1" nat-source-port="39155" nat-destination-address="0.0.0.0" nat-destination-port="443" src-nat-rule-type="source rule" src-nat-rule-name="test-servers" dst-nat-rule-type="N/A" dst-nat-rule-name="N/A" protocol-id="6" policy-name="allow-outbound" source-zone-name="test-zone" destination-zone-name="untrust" session-id-32="499236" packets-from-client="3" bytes-from-client="180" packets-from-server="0" bytes-from-server="0" elapsed-time="19" application="UNKNOWN" nested-application="UNKNOWN" username="N/A" roles="N/A" packet-incoming-interface="reth0.1" encrypted="UNKNOWN"]' I can confirm that syslog-ng is seeing the whole message as part of the incoming log entry, however it's just not showing up. I've dug through RFC 5424 and these logs DO conform but my confusion still remains. When I check the logs that were written the line looks like the following, which seems to just trunk everything after the RT_FLOW of the message header. 2018-06-12T19:03:54.125+00:00 corefw-site-0 RT_FLOW: I've run syslog-ng in debug mode, which was how I was able to confirm the outgoing message matches the prior line as well as the incoming message matching the expected data from my srx. [2018-06-12T19:03:54.385505] Outgoing message; message='2018-06-12T19:03:54.125+00:00 corefw-site-0 RT_FLOW: \x0a' Here is a snippet of my syslog config, it isn't that complex (at least I think so..) and i'm running out of hair to pull, any input would be GREATLY appreciated. https://gist.github.com/robotman321/217a69d456e543831936b1209b8bf501 -Brad

Re: [syslog-ng] (U) [Non-DoD Source] Re: Rotate syslog-ng log files
by Amin, Jitesh CTR DISA JSP (US) 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED Hello, So the file rotates now successfully – but what I have noticed is that after the file rotates it collects data for first few minute or so and then it stops collecting data (basically the file size never grows and timestamp never changes to the most latest when I check the file). I do see that syslog process/service is running. If I restart the service/process, it starts collecting data until the file rotation happens. Can you please let me know what would be causing this behavior?

netcat tests
by Eric Benoit 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

Hi List, I wanted to send a test message to my syslog-ng server. I tried this: > echo -n "test message" | nc -4u -w1 192.168.100.10 514 But I saw no logs created on the syslog-ng server. I did see the udp package on wireshark. Will syslog-ng except my test message the way I have it formatted and log it, does my message need to be formatted in a specific way for syslog-ng to except and create a log? Also, should I change syslog-ng to TCP instead of UDP to better trouble shoot any network problems I might have pending my netcat test message looks ok for syslog-ng server to except and log? I'm not very good at articulating questions, so I hope what I wrote makes sense if it does not please let me know and I will spend some more time rephrasing my questions. Thank you for any suggestions or comments

With newer versions, it would create files like `syslog-2018-05-30.log`. No `.0`, `.1` or the like would be appended. That's a convention of logrotate. With syslog-ng, you get filenames that match the template, they will have nothing appended or prepended that is not in the filename template. -- |8] ______________________________________________________________________________ Member info: Caution-https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng < Caution-https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng > Documentation: Caution-http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng < Caution-http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng > FAQ: Caution-http://www.balabit.com/wiki/syslog-ng-faq < Caution-http://www.balabit.com/wiki/syslog-ng-faq > ______________________________________________________________________________ Member info: Caution-https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng < Caution-https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng > Documentation: Caution-http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng < Caution-http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng > FAQ: Caution-http://www.balabit.com/wiki/syslog-ng-faq < Caution-http://www.balabit.com/wiki/syslog-ng-faq >

syslog-ng 3.15.1 on solaris
by Szalai, Attila 31 May '18

Hi, We have a fairly complicated compiling system, so before I start to investigate my compiling issue I would like to ask here. Is there anybody who was able to compile 3.15.1 on solaris? (either x86 or sparc.) For me, it ended to linking process with this: ld: fatal: library -lsyslog-ng: not found collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status libtool: install: error: relink `modules/diskq/libdisk-buffer.la' with the above command before installing it In linux, the same code compiled/linked fine.
