The syslog-ng open source edition is the direct descendant of the syslog-ng project that started ten years ago. The application can operate in server or agent mode, and - apart from UDP - supports the reliable TCP protocol. That way syslog-ng can be used to create flexible and reliable logging infrastructure even in heterogeneous environments.

BalaBit offers commercial support for syslog-ng open source edition in the form of traditional support services and yearly subscription to binary packages (Web Store). Visit our support page for more information.
