Table 1.1. Platforms supported by syslog-ng PE
The central syslog-ng server cannot be installed on Microsoft Windows platforms. The syslog-ng Agent for Windows capable of forwarding eventlog messages to the central server is available on the x86 and x86_64 architecture for Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows 2008 Server. The syslog-ng Agent is available only in syslog-ng Premium Edition.
The central syslog-ng server can be installed on the IBM System i platform, but the syslog-ng Agent for IBM System i is needed to collect the native logs of IBM System i (see Chapter 6, Collecting logs from IBM System i). The syslog-ng Agent for IBM System i is a commercial product independent from both syslog-ng OSE and PE, and must be licensed separately.
For syslog-ng OSE, precompiled binary packages are available for free for the supported Linux and BSD platforms at http://www.balabit.com/network-security/syslog-ng/opensource-logging-system/upgrades/. Precompiled binary packages for HP-UX, IBM AIX, and Solaris are available for an annual fee at the BalaBit webshop at http://www.balabit.com/shop/. For the list of available platforms, see http://www.balabit.com/network-security/syslog-ng/opensource-logging-system/support/.
