4.14.0

AxoSyslog is binary-compatible with syslog-ng [1] and serves as a drop-in replacement.

We provide cloud-ready container images and Helm charts.

Packages are available in our APT and RPM repositories (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Fedora).

Check out the AxoSyslog documentation for all the details.

  (#709)

FilterX features

• format_xml() and format_windows_eventlog_xml(): new functions added

  Example usage:

  (#684)

FilterX bugfixes

• metrics_labels(): Fixed a bug where update_metrics() did not omit null values.
  (#711)

Other changes

• syslog-ng-ctl stats prometheus: show orphan metrics

  Stale counters will be shown in order not to lose information, for example,
  when messages are sent using short-lived connections and metrics are scraped in
  minute intervals.

  We recommend using syslog-ng-ctl stats --remove-orphans during each configuration reload,
  but only after the values of those metrics have been scraped by all scrapers.
  (#715)
