Dear syslog-ng users,

This is the 130th issue of syslog-ng Insider, a monthly newsletter that brings you syslog-ng-related news.

NEWS

Testing Elasticsearch 9.0.0 beta1 with syslog-ng
------------------------------------------------
Each time a new major Elasticsearch version is released, someone asks if it works with syslog-ng. So I gave it a quick test and based on that, it works fine. But of course, some terms and conditions apply… :-)

Working with parsed Active Roles logs in syslog-ng
--------------------------------------------------
In my previous Active Roles blog, you learned how to forward Active Roles logs to a central syslog-ng server to parse and store the logs. In this blog, I’ll show you how to:
- Work with parsed Active Roles logs.
- Store logs to various document stores.
- Prepare long-term storage.
- Send alerts for some critical events.

Running syslog-ng PE in RHEL UBI
---------------------------------
Recently I have posted a Dockerfile to run syslog-ng in an Alma Linux container. I got some encouraging feedback, so this week I experimented with syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE) in a RHEL UBI (Universal Base Image) container. While this is not officially supported by One Identity, we are really interested in your feedback.
