I wrote some words about availability (or rather lack of it) of Arm powered laptops for normal users. Normal Linux users. marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2024/08/16/arm…

#TGIF as I'm a bit tired. Relaxing now with some good #music: listening to #PinkFloyd 😉 youtube.com/watch?v=E9Iau_…

PSA: today and tomorrow are bank holidays in #Hungary: officeholidays.com/holidays/hunga… As most of #syslog_ng development is made here in Hungary, you will most likely receive a response to questions and issues only on Wednesday or later.

For many years, the official #syslog_ng #container and development containers were based on @Debian Testing. We are switching to #Debian Stable now. Learn about the history and the reasons for the change now. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… sngOSE syslog-ng

How can you trust #AI if their bots are scanning honeypots like hell 😋

A bit of #nostalgia: I just found my Loadays t-shirt from many years ago. Small events are fantastic. Next to Pass the SALT Conference it was my other favorite event. I still hope that it will once return...

Do you use syslog-ng on #FreeBSD or #MacOS? You should update to version 4.8, which enables new features, like OpenTelemetry, and improves file and directory monitoring: syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… Oh, and #OpenTelemetry also arrived to #RHEL 9!

Some photos from the weekend. PSA: #Autumn is coming, even if it's 30+ degrees Celsius outside. There is a growing number of yellow leaves, and there are acorns on and under the #oak trees...

You should not use #SLES 12, The Debian Project 10 or #RHEL 7 in production anymore, as they are #EoL. If you still use them for whatever reason, note that the last syslog-ng version compiling on these ancient platforms was version 4.6: syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl…

Giving titles for my blogs is sometimes fun: "When it comes to sudo logging, pretty is not always better" sudo.ws/posts/2024/04/… It's about the new json_compact option coming soon to Sudo Project 1.9.16 #SIEM #LogManagement

Do you use the pipe() source in syslog-ng? My git snapshot repos for openSUSE Linux / #SLES and Fedora Project (@[email protected]) / #RHEL fix a recently introduced problem. Installation instructions: syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… #LogManagement

We are always looking for new ways to store log messages. Quickwit is a new contender, designed for #log #storage, and among others, it also provides an #Elasticsearch-compatible #API. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… #LogManagement

#TGIF as it was a long week, combined with a heat wave. I'm already in weekend mode, listening to my latest CD. This is probably the most popular album from #Vangelis, but was missing from my collection. youtube.com/watch?v=Nd-DlM… #music

Last time we looked at how syslog-ng can send logs to Quickwit using its #Elasticsearch compatible API. This time we are going to look at how to use the @OpenTelemetry protocol to send logs to #Quickwit with #syslog_ng. syslog-ng.com/community/b/bl… sngOSE #OpenTelemetry
