Hi, I've been running syslog-ng on a Solaris 8 box as a central log server with a MySQL database. I've had no trouble with it. Solaris however has a few quirks with kernel messages being formatted differently so syslog-ng at times has trouble interpreting them correctly (hostnames and programnames may contain first words of the message).

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
