Hi,
In this machine (13.1) I use rsyslog. Some years ago I used syslog-ng.
I find rsyslog problematic when finding errors in the config file, it fails to point at the exact error.
what do you think is currently better, rsyslog or syslog-ng?
syslog-ng, without a doubt.
agreed, syslog-ng all the way. It's better documented, it's used elsewhere besides just linux, it can better ID message types and categorise them into classes, you can do realtime correlation, it's log files are easier to read, and last but no means least our very own contributor Peter Czanik is the upstream syslog-ng Community Manager so the support in openSUSE is top notch ;)
Then I'll try it again in 42.2, and probably switch back to it. For some reason, rsyslog was the default on openSUSE some years back, that's the reason I have it. And it's given me problems. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
