Like I announced in one of my previous posts, towards the syslog-ng OSE 4.0 release I'm going to make smaller, short-term supported releases. The first of these, called syslog-ng 3.1 is nearing completion, and thus a status report is due. Here's the original plan (quoting the roadmap page here ): support tags for syslog messages: each message can be marked with one or more tags, then apply filtering based on tags patterndb: add tag support patterndb: v2 database format support patterndb: add parsers for IPv6 addresses and hex numbers converge macros in templates and name-value pairs even more (right now it is not possible to use any macro in match()) I've just pushed out another set of updates to our git repository , which: adds tag support: a new tags() filter and a tags() option for all sources and a builtin logic to assign the syslog-ng source name as a tag (in the format: .source. ) adds support for patterndb v2 and a newly introduced but compatible v3 format

BalaBit has grown quite a lot in the last 9 years since it was founded, these days there are about 60 employees and more than 50% of that is working in the development field (give or take a couple, I've lost count some time ago). As we currently work on 4 products, support 5-6 CPU architectures and a host of different Operating Systems, automation in development is a must. We try to automate everything and that means a lot. Some examples: preparing the development workstation for development/testing work in 15 minutes for any of our products building source code for tens of CPU/OS combinations by issuing a single command creating bundles of intermediate components when generating setup packages doing releases test automation and a host of other things Some of these solutions are completely our own development, others are derived from public projects, and as BalaBit tries hard to be a good friend of Free, Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) we try to contribute back to projects t
