You asked for it, we ship it: #syslog_ng #container based on an #RPM-based Linux distro, in our case: @almalinux.

It was announced just a week ago, still using git snapshot packages, but there are already hundreds of downloads. Share your #feedback!
On Aprilβs foolβs day, I shared that #syslog_ng can reach 7 #million #EPS. This test lab result was in part possible thanks to a few performance enhancements coming to syslog-ng version 4.12.

For many years, the #syslog_ng project provided #container images based on #Debian. Most of our users run syslog-ng on #RHEL & compatibles, and have asked for an #RPM-based container. So, nightly containers based on @almalinux are now also available.

Almost 15 years ago, Balabit had a campaign, stating that syslog-ng could process 650k messages a second. Now I am happy to present 7 million EPS (events per second). Timing the announcement to April 1 is not a coincidence :-) While the 650k EPS measurement was true, it was misleading. This value was measured right after syslog-ng 3.2 introduced multi-threading, in lab environment, under optimal circumstances, using synthetic log messages. However, there was no fine print explaining this, just the statement that syslog-ng could process 650k EPS.
One of my most popular #syslog_ng repo on @fedora Copr is for #AmazonLinux 2023. However, I have never received any issue reports or feature requests. Is it something I should keep working on?
Fedora 44 was announced last week: syslog-ng 4.11 is part of it. While checking the Fedora Copr build service for Fedora 44, I realized that CentOS 7 and Amazon Linux 2023 packages are also there. I have a few questions for you! Fedora 44 The availab...
Last week I asked in a blog about #openssl 4 support and experiences:

We received a detailed answer, and also a pull request to the #syslog_ng #GitHub repo. Of course, more investigation is needed, but syslog-ng now compiles with openssl 4 π€©
