Dear syslog-ng users, This is the 43th issue of the syslog-ng Insider, a monthly newsletter that brings you syslog-ng-related news. NEWS syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.7.1 released -------------------------------------------- The first syslog-ng 3.7 release is now available together with a matching incubator 0.5 release. Major new features include Java and Python destinations migrated from the incubator, and a collection of Java based “big data” destinations: Elasticsearch, Hadoop and Kafka. For a complete list of new features, check the release notes available at https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-3.7.1 syslog-ng on ARM ---------------------- As syslog-ng is in many Linux distributions, it is also available on ARM. Recently we had a chance to evaluate syslog-ng on a 64bit ARM machine. The results are mixed, but very promising. If you already use syslog-ng on ARM or plan to use it, contact me and share your use case and experiences! https://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/2015/07/syslog-ng-on-64bit-arm/ Getting started with the new Java based destinations ---------------------------------------------------- Installing the new Java based destination drivers requires a bit more preparation than installing the syslog-ng package and writing syslog-ng.conf, as was previously. This “HowTo” helps you to get started with Java based destinations on popular Linux distributions and FreeBSD: https://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/2015/08/getting-started-with-syslog-ng-3-7-...
