NEWS
Test syslog-ng on EPEL 10!
CentOS Stream 10 and EPEL 10 just became available, and as usual, I tried to build syslog-ng as soon as possible. For now it is available in my git snapshot repository, but I am also planning to make it available in EPEL 10 soon.

Collecting Active Roles logs centrally using the syslog-ng Windows Agent
One Identity Active Roles allows you to easily and securely manage Active Directory (AD), Entra ID and M365 Identity objects. While Active Roles stores its log messages into Windows Event Log, most log management and log analytics applications expect to receive log messages over the syslog protocol. This is where syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE) can help you. The syslog-ng Windows Agent can collect and forward Active Roles log messages from Windows Event Log, while the syslog-ng server can collect, process, store and forward Active Roles log messages to multiple destinations.
syslog-ng OSE 4.8.1 is now in EPEL 10, quick fix for Elasticsearch
This blog is just a quick announcement that syslog-ng 4.8.1 is now available in EPEL 10, so you do not have to use the testing repository anymore. Thanks everyone for the feedback! However, support for Elasticsearch 7+ is broken in this release, as some of you reported. You can fix this problem as described in https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues/5207 by removing references to “type”.
