NEWS Streaming syslog-ng data to your lakehouse using OTEL Version 4.11.0 of syslog-ng contains contributions from Databricks related = to OAuth2 authentication.

Central logging is = more than just compliance. It makes logs easier to use, available and secur= e, thus making your life easier in operations, security, development, but a= lso in marketing, sales, and so on. https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/central-log-collection---m= ore-than-just-compliance Compiling syslog-ng on an old Mac I have an aging, but fully functional MacBook. I bought it for syslog-ng te= sting, but I also use for watching movies. Homebrew no more fully supports = old, Intel-based Macs.
