[syslog-ng]syslog-ng in a Solaris environment

[George Horvath]

Hi All,

I am working on a log centralization project in a Solaris environment and my initial search led me to syslog-ng.  I signed up
to this mailing list to get a feel for syslog-ng's performance and support issues.    It seems like a good product which is
recommended by a lot of people.

I am wondering though if there are any other products that may be better, have better support etc..  I'm willing to pay for a
commercial product with advantages over syslog-ng.  Although I'm a huge fan of open source, I use a lot of os products how
ever I am not a programmer so support is an issue for me.

If you are running syslog-ng in a Solaris environment (especially Solaris 8/9) I would very much be interested hearing about
your experiences.  I would really be interested in positive comments from someone who is successfully employing syslog-ng.

There were a few Solaris based questions recently but that's not a good indication of it being a problematic platform.

Finally,  I noticed there are frequent releases of syslog-ng.  How easy/difficult/time consuming is it to upgrade an
operational environment?

TIA,
George Horvath

P.S.  I am a Hungarian born, so it would be interesting for me to use syslog-ng
