Version 4.11 of #syslog_ng will feature a brand-new #Kafka source. While it is being tested and reviewed, we are working on reducing the number of open issues. What should be #fixed next in syslog-ng?

⚡ 10x faster log processing
⏱️ Latency reduced from 30 seconds to under 3 seconds
📈 99.95% availability sustained during peak global events
Kaizen Gaming modernized log management across more than 600 microservices supporting the Betano platform. SRE and Platform Engineering teams gained real-time visibility, faster incident response, and predictable performance during major sporting events.
Led by Marinos Giamouridis and Miltiadis Tsatsakis, the Kaizen team combined high-throughput ingestion, Illuminate content, and Data Lake storage with Graylog Enterprise to reduce noise, improve signal quality, and control operational costs. The result is an observability platform built for scale, speed, and reliability across hybrid environments.

Is there anyone still using #HDFS? Not just with #syslog_ng, but at all. I'm curious, as the HDFS destination is the last #Java-based driver in syslog-ng.
Nobody responded to my related posts for years, so 4.11 will be the last release to have it.

One of the most requested syslog-ng feature was file size based log rotation. It is now available as part of the #syslog_ng 4.10 release:

Last but certainly not least, my roundup of all the #AWS #CloudOps news from #reinvent, including the new #multicloud Interconnect, #EKS Capabilities, #observability and #logmanagement updates for #cloudwatch, and more. https://www.techtarget.com/searchcloudcomputing/news/366636053/AWS-CloudOps-hones-multi-cloud-support-for-AI-resilience
The next #syslog_ng release will feature a brand new @ApacheKafka source. You can already test this if you do not mind building the syslog-ng package yourself. Luckily it's easy and does not require developer knowledge:
My @turris Omnia #Linux #router is 9 years old, but still receiving updates regularly. My favorite detail from the last update e-mail:
• Updated package syslog-ng from version 4.7.1-1 to version 4.10.2-r1
A long-waited feature for #syslog_ng, the #Kafka source, is getting ready soon. The development is still in progress, but you can already try it, and it is worth the effort. How? Using the very same tool the syslog-ng #testing and release process relies on.
The blank() filter of #syslog_ng is a filter function with a descriptive name: it selects empty or undefined name-value pairs. While most of the functionalities that blank filter provides are available long time ago, using this new filter makes configurations easier to understand.

Today we're talking about organizing and analyzing #security data. 🗂️ 📊 Your security data needs to be reliable, processed, and ready for use — and data pipelines help you get there. 🙌
Building a data pipeline for security telemetry requires:
1️⃣ Defining strategic goals
2️⃣ Gathering the right resources
3️⃣ Establishing data sources and ingestion methods
4️⃣ Creating a data processing strategy
5️⃣ Being strategic about storage
6️⃣ Establishing a data workflow
7️⃣ Implementing a reliable data consumption layer
Read on, to get the 411 on doing data pipelines the right way.👇
