Hi! I have recently released version 0.1.1 of the syslog-ng Incubator project[1], which includes a brand new destination: Lua. With this, you can write destination plugins without having to touch C, or compile anything. It does have its limitations and issues still, but it is usable to the point that an example ElasticSearch plugin is included with the sources. I also made Debian and Ubuntu packages[2] out of the new release, which includes all modules (the new Lua one, and the ones I described on my blog[3] some time ago). However, unlike the syslog-ng packages, these are only available for Ubuntu Precise and newer, or Debian Wheezy and newer. Ubuntu Lucid and Debian Squeeze are not supported, and will not be. If you're using syslog-ng 3.5 packages, the new modules will automatically appear, as they are put into the same repository (they will not be automatically installed, however, not even when using the syslog-ng meta-package). Also, while I was there, I disabled Ubuntu Raring in the repository: it will be reaching its end of life this month, so no new updates will be made (and the Incubator is not available for it, either). It will stay in the repository for a while, though.
