AUUG talk notes: Centralized logging and syslog-ng
Last night Bobby, Jason, and I returned to our old habit of attending a monthly meeting of the Atlanta UNIX Users Group. Returning speaker Ryan Matteson gave a rather informative presentation on the topic of Centralized Logging with syslog-ng. I’ve used syslog-ng on and off over the years, and we recommend the GPLv2 version to our services and support customers for use in conjunction with the syslog listener built into OpenNMS. Despite all this, I had never had a proper introduction to syslog-ng, so this meeting was one not to be missed.
Taking a cue from DJ’s recent post, I’m putting my notes from the talk online. Ryan has also put his slides online, so there’s not much marginal value in the following except for a couple of verbal comments that I rolled in.
