[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng network namespace support

[Monitto Pitchaimani sebastin (mopitcha)]

Hi Gabor,
Thanks for the reply.
My use case is that syslog-ng is running in one namespace but I wanted to send the logs to the remote server which is reachable in another namespace.
Can we specify the outgoing namespace in destination network() in syslog-ng configuration.

Thanks,
Monitto

Sorry if I misunderstood your question.
Do you mean does syslog-ng use Linux namespaces?
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/namespaces.7.html
AFAIK it does not.
If you mean that a remote host(e.g. server) has network namespaces, I think that should work, as that's transparent to a different host (e.g. client).
Can you elaborate your use case, please?
It's possible that we should submit a feature request on syslog-ng github page:
https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues/

Regards,
Gábor

Hi All,
Does syslog-ng supports log forwarding to remote host in different network namespaces?
