[syslog-ng] Difference in version

[vinod samant]

Hi ,

I have tried two way  of installation ,

1.first one is using command  yum install syslog-ng ,  and it has been
installed ,if this way is wright then what will be the client and server
side configuration,Suppose

apache writing custom log on
/usr/local/apache/logs/xyz_access_2018-05-07.log  ,Client IP:- 10.10.64.1
,server IP:- 10.10.64.100.

2. Second i have downloaded tar.gz file form github and trying to install
,But i am facing lots of dependency problem.

Can you explain difference between both way installation which i am triyng
?

If any information about error i will provide .
