The new version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition, the popular syslog alternative for centralized logging brings several useful features for the open source world, including support for the new syslog protocol and message-format standard developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF); native support for TLS-encrypted message transfer, including mutual authentication, and the ability to directly log messages into SQL databases. The message processing capabilities of syslog-ng have also been improved: it is possible to segment the content of the messages into name-value pairs and use the results in further processing steps such as filtering; and rules can be defined to rewrite or modify the messages if needed. The syslog-ng application is optimized for performance, and can handle enormous amount of messages: up to 75,000 messages per second real-time, that is, over 24 GB raw logs per hour on entry-level server hardware.
