Syslog-ng versions available with RHEL 6
Good morning, I am currently running syslog-ng OSE version 3.7 and RHEL 6. I'm trying to update my syslog-ng OSE through EPEL. It looks like the only way to get syslog-ng v3.12 is from RHEL 7. What is the latest version of syslog-ng OSE that is supported by RHEL 6?

Unfortunately for RHEL 6 the latest version is 3.9. That is available from this repo: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/czanik/syslog-ng39epel6/ See https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/issues/1403 for details.

No need to even try. Starting at 3.10 there are glib2 requirements that are not present in Redhat 6. Give that Redhat 6 is fully supported by Redhat until 2020 (2 more years) I am very disappointed that it has been abandoned by the syslog-ng developers. There are a number of memory leaks and performance fixes that are in syslog-ng 3.10 and later that can not be ported to the Redhat 6 platform. Evan. On 12/30/2017 07:54 AM, Ronald Fenner wrote:

Hi, "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" as I don't know how reliable download statistics for the Fedora Copr build service are. On the other hand right now it seems that syslog-ng Redhat 6 had almost 100x more downloads during the last seven days than for RHEL 7 and any Fedora releases combined. 228k downloads in a week for RHEL 6 and <3k for the rest. My guess is (I only see the numbers, not where the downloads originated) that AWS Linux AMI is based on RHEL 6 and that's why numbers are so high. But even without AWS about 1/4 to 1/3 of RHEL users seems to be still on RHEL6. My guess is, that not counting embedded users (Kindle, BMW, Synology, NI, etc.) about 20% of our users is affected by this problem (SLES11, older ubuntu LTS releases are also affected).
