[syslog-ng] syslog-ng and dependency libraries for sending log messages for remote log server with TLS support

Fri Feb 5 06:53:01 CET 2016

Configure asked only for event log  library. But did not ask for openssl or glib.
So I have complied event log  library and set the library.  Please let me know why the configure did not ask for openssl or glib library

Syslog version: syslog-ng-3.6.4
Os : linux
Arch : armv7

Later compilation failed with following error

What was the configure output?

Thank you very much for the information.

I want to enable openssl  and glib. I tried following in configure but  configure did not ask/fail for following libraries. Because I currently I have not complied openssl and glib
/configure --prefix=/ --host=$(CCPREFIX)  --enable-ssl --enable-glib
Could you please guide me on this.

Girish

Well, it certainly depends on the features that you want enabled on your platform. The syslog-ng configure script allows tailor-made configurations at a pretty granular level. But I guess it would make sense to compile syslog-ng for your use-case.
syslog-ng has not - yet - been optimized too much for the embedded use-case, but it is generally slim package implemented in C, so it should be possible. The dependency I'd be afraid the most is glib, which has grown pretty fat in recent times. There an earlier release could be enough (2.14 should be ok).

Hi All,

My requirement is to send the log messages to remote log server securely (with TLS).

The project which I am implementing is on embedded systems. So the space is very important.

Please let me know the latest stable version of syslog-ng which can be used for this.
Also please let me know the mandatory dependency libraries required.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Girish
