NEWS

Syslog-ng Prometheus exporter added to RPM syslog-ng container image
-------------------------------------------------
Recently I introduced you to my latest project: a syslog-ng container based=
 on Alma Linux. Now I also added a syslog-ng Prometheus exporter to the con=
tainer, so you can monitor syslog-ng, if you enable it.

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

Running a syslog-ng server in WSL
---------------------------------
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows you to run Linux applications on a=
 Windows host. While you can install and run syslog-ng on a default WSL ins=
tallation, it is not really practical: there is no systemd and WSL is behin=
d NAT. This blog gives you some pointers for working around these problems.
