Installing syslog-ng 3.3.4 OSS on multiple Centos servers
Hi I have a need to install syslog-ng 3.3.4 on multiple Centos servers. Unfortunately i am unable to find RPMs for the newer versions and only find the source downloads. 1. Any links to contributed repositories for Centos 5.x?2. Alternatively can anyone point me to Source RPMs for Centos 5.x so that I can at least make the RPMs myself? Even EPEL 6 I find only 3.2.x source RPMs RegardsSrini

I don't know of any Centos RPMs, but you might try the sRPMs from SuSE[1]. At worst, they'll be a reasonable starting point. [1]: http://software.opensuse.org/search/download?base=openSUSE%3AFactory&file=Ba... -- |8]

Hi, CzP had a blogpost about compiling syslog-ng on CentOS 5 a while back, you might want to give it a try: http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/2011/06/compiling-syslog-ng-with-database-su... Regards, Robert

I've ceased maintaining binaries myself for open source syslog-ng, simply because of the lack of time. Algernon has started supplying binaries for Debian and Ubuntu, Peter is doing work on SUSE and we've also worked with distribution maintainers to include the latest-and-greatest version of syslog-ng. That's how the load is shared. I hope to get syslog-ng 3.3 in Fedora 17 soon, once the ivykis fork becomes the past (which Algernon and Lennert was working on). So F17 binaries are going to be the starting point for EPEL, but I'm not sure if that's get backported for CentOS5. -- Bazsi
I actually build syslog-ng binary RPMs for Centos systems, and should be able to share those, including a work-alike config for the stock sysklogd. Let me double check whether I can use the at-work-built ones, or if I have to roll them again in my personal time, but I have them, they work, they're in production. Cheers, Jan
