Below is the list of blog posts with the “syslog-ng” tag.

Well, no doubt logging is the nervous system of any IT infrastructure. From troubleshooting outages to satisfying compliance audits and threat management, having the right log management pipeline can make the difference between smooth operations and chaotic firefighting. For decades, syslog-ng and rsyslog have been two of the most widely used log management tools for Unix and Linux environments. Both provide implementations of the original 1980s syslog protocol and are designed to collect, process, and forward log messages across networks.

syslog-ng and NXLog are both powerful log collectors providing flexible log processing. However, you might be in a position where you need to switch from syslog-ng to NXLog. Whether it’s because syslog-ng doesn’t support an operating system or you want to upgrade your log collection solution to one that can be centrally managed, converting your syslog-ng configuration to NXLog is a simple task. How do syslog-ng and NXLog differ? syslog-ng and NXLog are alike in many ways.
