Dear syslog-ng users, This is the 43th issue of the syslog-ng Insider, a monthly newsletter that brings you syslog-ng-related news. NEWS Monitor syslog-ng with Android app ---------------------------------- During the last Google Summer of Code a new Android application was developed by Krishna Kannan, a student at National University of Singapore, which can monitor syslog-ng. It can check, if syslog-ng is alive and show its configuration and statistics on the screen of your Android device.

If you would like to modify the images, the sources are available at https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng-docker Big data -------- syslog-ng delivers log data directly to Hadoop, Elasticsearch, MongoDB and Kafka, so supports practically all major “big data” systems as a destination.

For a long time syslog-ng was the default syslog implementation in both SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) and openSUSE, and many SLES and openSUSE users are still enthusiastic about syslog-ng. This year, BalaBit (the company behind syslog-ng) participates at the annual SUSE conference, SUSECon, in Amsterdam, during the first week of November. https://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/2015/09/balabits-syslog-ng-at-the-annual-su...
