Dear syslog-ng users,

This is the 136th issue of syslog-ng Insider, a monthly newsletter that bri=
ngs you syslog-ng-related news.

NEWS

File size-based log rotation in syslog-ng
-----------------------------------------
Version 4.10 of syslog-ng introduced file size-based log rotation. Thanks t=
o this, storage space is no longer filled with logs with the risk that you =
might not see older logs if the message rate is higher than expected.

Syslog-ng release packages for RHEL & Co.
-----------------------------------------
I=92ve been providing syslog-ng users release RPM packages for almost a dec=
ade now. However, from now on, RHEL & Co users can use packages provided di=
rectly by the syslog-ng team from a lot less obscure location.

Nightly syslog-ng RPM packages for RHEL & Co.
---------------------------------------------
I have been providing syslog-ng users with weekly git snapshot RPM packages=
 for almost a decade. From now on, RHEL & Co users can use nightly packages=
 provided by the syslog-ng team, and from a lot less obscure location. As u=
sual, these packages are for testing, not for production.
