[syslog-ng] syslog-ng in EPEL 8

Wed Nov 13 16:34:52 UTC 2019

Hi,

Admittedly I package syslog-ng for RHEL 6 only in maintenance mode (just as Red Hat itself). As this package is using a separate spec file (good old times without systemd) it's extra effort, so I package a new release only if there is user request for it. Did it last time for 3.23: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/czanik/syslog-ng323epel6/

RHEL 6 is end of life soon (first half of 2020), so I did not plan a -stable repo for it. Of course if you or anybody else pings me for a RHEL 6 package from a new release, I'll do it -- once I'm ready with RHEL 7 packages (which I expect to be our main platform for at least one more year, until 8.3 is released).

Bye,
Peter

Awesome, thank you!  I think this will is exactly what I need.  I will let you know how it goes on the list.  Any plans to support RHEL 6?  I know it’s old but I still have an overwhelming majority of RHEL 6 servers and unfortunately that will likely be the case for a while.

Thanks,

Hi,

It's brand new and I'm still waiting for feedback about it, so there is no blog about it yet.

You can find more info about it at https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2019-November/025539.html<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttps-3A__lists.balabit.hu_pipermail_syslog-2Dng_2019-2DNovember_025539.html%26d%3DDwMF-g%26c%3DApwzowJNAKKw3xye91w7BE1XMRKi2LN9kiMk5Csz9Zk%26r%3DzMyZvtxRXMBKZZYKVMke9zplWK320p3d51BzuU4jwWo%26m%3DzjJjY4weA3NNBbXqnMGTr_wxMmbWQinCxTwGn3IqYWI%26s%3D2hqjGnjwRb-zdmhVvmaHGr7U4ZFFaoxw6l2ScHVi4YU%26e%3D&data=02%7C01%7CPeter.Czanik%40oneidentity.com%7C91acb9dfa4814075fe0008d7684f40d6%7C91c369b51c9e439c989c1867ec606603%7C0%7C0%7C637092561939186907&sdata=LvwCmtHG51ilv%2FaqAtCHMgHsjUd%2FkHhXz%2FV4ma97Akk%3D&reserved=0>

I assume that it works, as there are close to 200 users and no complaints yet ??

Thank you Peter,

“There is a syslog-ng-stable repo I started recently, which supports RHEL/CentOS 7.”

Where can I get more information about this syslog-ng-stable repo?  I think I can use that.

Thanks,

This thread was originally about syslog-ng in EPEL 8, the semi-official repo by Fedora maintainers for RHEL/CentOS 8.

There is no LTS release of syslog-ng at the moment.

There is a syslog-ng-stable repo I started recently, which supports RHEL/CentOS 7. It is not for LTS releases, but new rolling releases arrive here only after an initial testing period (2+ weeks). I mean, there are thousands of automatic tests before each commit to the syslog-ng code base, but nothing can replace real world testing by hundreds of users ?? So, I keep creating versioned repositories (as most people I talked to prefer this to rolling), and once a release proves to be stable I copy it to the syslog-ng-stable repo. Meaning that -stable is still rolling, but there is a smaller chance for surprises.

Now, that most of the syslog-ng dependencies are available in EPEL 8 again, I plan to merge RHEL/CentOS 8 support with the rest. It does not promise to be easy. It means that RHEL 8 support will be available both in the future versioned repositories and in the -stable repo.

Hi Peter, I know before there was a discussion on creating a repository for RHEL/CentOS to maintain a rolling release and a stable (log-term) release.  Is that still the plan?  Does this exist yet?  All I’m seeing so far are the COPR releases.

Thanks,

Subject: [syslog-ng] syslog-ng in EPEL 8

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Hi,

Version 3.23.1 of syslog-ng is now available in EPEL 8. It has most, but not all of the syslog-ng features available.

Missing features:

  *   kafka destination, C implementation, as librdkafka is too old
  *   Java destination drivers (kafka, elastic, hdfs), as sources necessary to compile them are not in the distro. Note, that Elastic is supported through elastic-http()
  *   tcp wrapper, as support was removed from RHEL
  *   riemann does not have sub-second precision, as client in EPEL is too old

As missing dependencies arrived to EPEL 8, right now the official EPEL 8 syslog-ng package has more features enabled, than my own experimental EPEL 8 package ??

Once 3.25.1 is released, I hope to support RHEL/CentOS 8 from my regular syslog-ng repositories. The difference is not as big as it was before missing dependencies became available, but I still need to figure out some RPM spec magic ??

EPEL 8 stays at 3.23 (no version update is allowed there). There are plans to allow new versions into EPEL with each new minor RHEL release, but seeing is believing. It was promised for too many years.

Bye,

Peter Czanik (CzP) <peter.czanik at oneidentity.com<mailto:peter.czanik at oneidentity.com>>
