We have syslog-ng running on Solaris 8. Multiple platforms are logging in including Linux, HP, IBM, and Windows. Balazs and Nate Campi have both been excellent sources of information. www.campin.net. Upgrading is as easy as downloading and compiling the new binary and pushing out to the central log hosts. The hosts reporting in still run the regular syslogd for now. Stability has been very good. Although certain versions have had issues, Balazs has done a good job getting patches out quickly to improve stabilization. On one of our central log hosts, which has about 3000 hosts reporting in, we did note performance issues which was a DNS caching issue that was fixed. We also made our loghost DNS cache servers to further improve performance. Due to certain functionality requirements, we are using the 1.5.x release. Overall we are very happy with the product. --Chuck -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-admin@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-admin@lists.balabit.hu]On Behalf Of George Horvath Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 9:05 AM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: [syslog-ng]syslog-ng in a Solaris environment Hi All, I am working on a log centralization project in a Solaris environment and my initial search led me to syslog-ng. I signed up to this mailing list to get a feel for syslog-ng's performance and support issues. It seems like a good product which is recommended by a lot of people. I am wondering though if there are any other products that may be better, have better support etc.. I'm willing to pay for a commercial product with advantages over syslog-ng. Although I'm a huge fan of open source, I use a lot of os products how ever I am not a programmer so support is an issue for me. If you are running syslog-ng in a Solaris environment (especially Solaris 8/9) I would very much be interested hearing about your experiences. I would really be interested in positive comments from someone who is successfully employing syslog-ng. There were a few Solaris based questions recently but that's not a good indication of it being a problematic platform. Finally, I noticed there are frequent releases of syslog-ng. How easy/difficult/time consuming is it to upgrade an operational environment? TIA, George Horvath P.S. I am a Hungarian born, so it would be interesting for me to use syslog-ng _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Frequently asked questions at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
