I think this shouldn't be more difficult than a setsockopt() provided syslog-ng has the appropriate permissions. 

also, if dns settings are not the same, that might complicate things.

Hi Gabor,

Thanks for the reply.

My use case is that syslog-ng is running in one namespace but I wanted to send the logs to the remote server which is reachable in another namespace.

Can we specify the outgoing namespace in destination network() in syslog-ng configuration.

 

Thanks,

Monitto

Sorry if I misunderstood your question.
Do you mean does syslog-ng use Linux namespaces?
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/namespaces.7.html

AFAIK it does not.

If you mean that a remote host(e.g. server) has network namespaces, I think that should work, as that's transparent to a different host (e.g. client).

Can you elaborate your use case, please?

It's possible that we should submit a feature request on syslog-ng github page:
https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues/

 

Regards,

Gábor

Hi All,

Does syslog-ng supports log forwarding to remote host in different network namespaces?

 

 

Regards,

Monitto
