Streaming syslog-ng data to your lakehouse using OTEL

Version 4.11.0 of syslog-ng contains contributions from Databricks related to OAuth2 authentication. Recently, they published a blog about how this enables their customers to send logs to their data lake using syslog-ng and the OpenTelemetry protocol.

Central log collection - more than just compliance

I often hear, even at security conferences that “no central log collection here” or “we have something due to compliance”. Central logging is more than just compliance. It makes logs easier to use, available and secure, thus making your life easier in operations, security, development, but also in marketing, sales, and so on.

Compiling syslog-ng on an old Mac

I have an aging, but fully functional MacBook. I bought it for syslog-ng testing, but I also use for watching movies. Homebrew no more fully supports old, Intel-based Macs. This blog helps to compile the latest syslog-ng release on these old, but otherwise functional machines.
