Hi, My fellow tech-writer collegue has worked on a new, updated and extended syslog-ng manual, and we are now ready to publish a non-final version, available at the following URLs: PDF: http://www.balabit.com/common-dl/syslog-ng-admin-guide_en_draft.pdf HTML: http://www.balabit.com/common-dl/syslog-ng-admin-guide_en.html/bk01-toc.html Any feedback is appreciated, please send comments to the list, or to documentation@balabit.com Thanks. -- Bazsi
The new docs look very nice. On this page: http://www.balabit.com/common-dl/syslog-ng-admin-guide_en.html/ch02s03.html it makes reference to a syslog-ng agent running on Windows, by saying this: "...Microsoft Windows based hosts can run only the syslog-ng agent. The syslog-ng agent operates only in client mode." Is there any more information on this? I can't seem to find any. it sounds like a replacement for 'snare', and sounds very interesting. thanks, Mike On Tue, 3 Apr 2007, Balazs Scheidler wrote:

Sounds like a good differentiator for the commercial version. :) Seriously - given that there's multiple free programs out there that will cause a Windows box to log to a syslog server on 514/UDP, I'd see this as a good opportunity to sell a client that has a support contract, and added-on features like 514/TCP and so on.

The Windows agent program is in the deployment phase in one of our local projects, but is not available generally as of yet. It collects eventlog messages and has support for reading traditional log files (as many Windows applications use flat files instead of eventlog) and feed them into syslog-ng using TCP and optionally SSL/TLS encryption. -- Bazsi
