Compiling options of syslog-ng OSE

When compiling syslog-ng OSE from source, you can use the following compiling options.

  • --enable-all-modules This option will turn on or off all modules and most features when enabled, unless a feature is explicitly disabled, or not detected automatically. Currently, this means that you must explicitly enable the pacct() source, since it is not detected automatically (all other modules are compiled automatically if the required libraries are available).

    This also means that the Sun Streams source is enabled on every platform, not only on Solaris, causing a compile error. Use --enable-all-modules together with --disable-sun-streams.

  • --disable-http Disable support for the http() destination that is based on libcurl.

  • --disable-python Disable support for Python-based modules.

  • --disable-json Disable JSON support. It also disables json-parser, and the format-cim and format-json template functions. Also, it disables JSON support even if the json-c library is installed and detected (see --enable-json).

  • --disable-smtp Disable SMTP support. By default, SMTP support is enabled if the libesmtp library is detected.

  • --enable-amqp Enable the amqp destination (enabled by default). The source of the RabbitMQ client is included in the source code package of syslog-ng OSE. To use an external client instead, use the --with-librabbitmq-client=system compiling option. For details on using this destination, see amqp: Publishing messages using AMQP.

  • --enable-debug Include debug information.

  • --enable-dynamic-linking Compile syslog-ng as a completely dynamic binary. If not specified syslog-ng uses mixed linking (--enable-mixed-linking): it links dynamically to system libraries and statically to everything else.

  • --enable-geoip Enable GEOIP support, required for the geoip2 template function and the geoip2-parser (enabled automatically if the libmaxminddb library is detected).

  • --enable-ipv6 Enable IPv6 support.

  • --enable-java Enable support for Java-based modules. For other requirements, see the description of the Java-based module (for example, Prerequisites) that you want to use.

  • --enable-java-modules Compile the Gradle projects of every Java module available in modules/java-modules.

  • --enable-json Enables JSON support (by default, it uses the json-c library included in the source code package of syslog-ng OSE). JSON support is required for json-parser, and the format-cim and format-json template functions.

  • --enable-linux-caps Enable support for capabilities on Linux. For details, see The syslog-ng manual page.

  • --enable-mongodb Enable the mongodb destination (enabled by default). The source of the MongoDB client is included in the source code package of syslog-ng OSE. To use an external MongoDB client instead, use the --with-libmongo-client=system compiling option. For details on using this destination, see mongodb: Storing messages in a MongoDB database.

  • --enable-pacct Enable using the pacct() driver to collect process-accounting logs on Linux systems.

  • --enable-python Enable support for Python-based modules.

  • --enable-redis Enable the redis destination (enabled by default). The source of the libhiredis client (0.11 or newer) must be available. To specify the location of the library, use the --with-libhiredis=<path-to-libhiredis> compiling option. For details on using this destination, see redis: Storing name-value pairs in Redis.

  • --enable-riemann Enable the riemann destination (enabled by default). The source of the libriemann client must be available. For details on using this destination, see riemann: Monitoring your data with Riemann.

  • --enable-spoof-source Enable spoof_source feature (disabled by default).

  • --enable-sql Enables the sql() destination (enabled automatically if the libdbi library version 0.9 or newer is installed and detected).

  • --enable-ssl Enable SSL support, required for encrypted message transfer, as well as template functions that calculate hashes and UUIDs (enabled automatically if the libopenssl library is detected).

  • --enable-sun-door Enable Sun door support even if not detected (autodetected by default).

  • --enable-sun-streams Enable Sun STREAMS support even if not detected (autodetected by default).

  • --enable-systemd Enable systemd support on Linux platforms (autodetected by default) (enabled automatically if the libsystemd-daemon library is detected).

  • --enable-tcp-wrapper Enable using /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow for TCP access (enabled automatically if the libwrap libraries are detected).

  • --with-embedded-crypto If this option is set, the crypto library is linked directly into libsyslog-ng: the sources of libsyslog-ng-crypto will be appended to the libsyslog-ng sources, and -crypto is not built.

  • --with-ivykis Specifies which ivykis implementation to use (default value: internal). The source of ivykis is included in the source code package of syslog-ng OSE and is used by default. To use an external implementation instead, use the --with-ivykis=system compiling option.

  • --with-libcurl Specifies the path to the libcurl library. For details on using this destination, see http: Posting messages over HTTP without Java.

  • --with-libhiredis Specifies the path to the libhiredis library (0.11 or newer). For details on using this destination, see redis: Storing name-value pairs in Redis.

  • --with-libmongo-client Specifies which MongoDB client to use (default value: internal). The source of the mongodb client is included in the source code package of syslog-ng OSE. To use an external MongoDB client instead, use the --with-libmongo-client=system compiling option. For details on using this destination, see mongodb: Storing messages in a MongoDB database.

  • --with-librabbitmq-client Specifies which RabbitMQ client to use (default value: internal). The source of the rabbitmq client is included in the source code package of syslog-ng OSE and is used by default. To use an external client instead, use the --with-librabbitmq-client=system compiling option. For details on using this destination, see amqp: Publishing messages using AMQP.

  • --with-module-dir Specifies a single directory where the syslog-ng OSE Makefile will install the modules.

  • --module-install-dir Specifies syslog-ng OSE's module installation directory (normally $prefix/lib/syslog-ng). All Java-based SCLs use this option.

  • --with-module-path Specifies a colon-separated (:) list of directories, where the syslog-ng OSE binary will search for modules.

  • --with-python Specifies which Python version to use, for example, --with-python=2.7

  • --with-timezone-dir Specifies the directory where syslog-ng looks for the timezone files to resolve the time-zone() and local-time-zone() options. If not specified, the /opt/syslog-ng/share/zoneinfo/ and /usr/share/zoneinfo/ directories are checked, respectively. Note that HP-UX uses a unique file format (tztab) to describe the timezone information, but that format is currently not supported in syslog-ng. As a workaround, copy the zoneinfo files from another, non-HP-UX system to the /opt/syslog-ng/share/zoneinfo/ directory of your HP-UX system.

  • --without-compile-date Removes the compilation date from the binary. For example, as openSUSE checks if recompilation changes the binary to detect if dependent packages need to be rebuilt or not, and including the date changes the binary every time.

Uninstalling syslog-ng OSE

If you need to uninstall syslog-ng OSE for some reason, you have the following options:

  • If you have installed syslog-ng OSE from a .deb package: Execute the dpkg -r syslog-ng command to remove syslog-ng, or the dpkg -P syslog-ng command to remove syslog-ng OSE and the configuration files as well. Note that removing syslog-ng OSE does not restore the syslog daemon used before syslog-ng.

  • If you have installed syslog-ng OSE from an .rpm package: Execute the rpm -e syslog-ng command to remove syslog-ng OSE. Note that removing syslog-ng OSE does not restore the syslog daemon used before syslog-ng OSE.

  • If you have compiled syslog-ng OSE from source: Execute the sudo make uninstall command to remove syslog-ng OSE. Note that removing syslog-ng OSE does not restore the syslog daemon used before syslog-ng OSE.

Configuring Microsoft SQL Server to accept logs from syslog-ng

Purpose:

Complete the following steps to configure your Microsoft SQL Server to enable remote logins and accept log messages from syslog-ng.

Steps:
  1. Start the SQL Server Management Studio application. Select Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > SQL Server Management Studio.

  2. Create a new database.

    1. Figure 5: Creating a new MSSQL database 1.

      In the Object Explorer, right-click on the Databases entry and select New Database.

    2. Figure 6: Creating a new MSSQL database 2.

      Enter the name of the new database (for example syslogng) into the Database name field and click OK.

  3. Create a new database user and associate it with the new database.

    1. Figure 7: Creating a new MSSQL user 1.

      In the Object Explorer, select Security, right-click on the Logins entry, then select New Login.

    2. Figure 8: Creating a new MSSQL user 2.

      Enter a name (for example syslog-ng) for the user into the Login name field.

    3. Select the SQL Server Authentication option and enter a password for the user.

    4. In the Default database field, select the database created in Step 2 (for example syslogng).

    5. In the Default language field, select the language of log messages that you want to store in the database, then click OK.

      Caution:

      Incorrect language settings may result in the database converting the messages to a different character-encoding format. That way the log messages may become unreadable, causing information loss.

    6. In the Object Explorer, select Security > Logins, then right-click on the new login created in the previous step, and select Properties.

    7. Figure 9: Associating database with the new user

      Select User Mapping. In the Users mapped to this login option, check the line corresponding to the new login (for example syslogng). In the Database role membership field, check the db_owner and public options.

  4. Figure 10: Associating database with the new user

    Enable remote logins for SQL users.

    In the Object Explorer right-click on your database server, and select Properties > Security, and set the Server Authentication option to SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode.
