AxoSyslog started as a syslog-ng fork, branched right after syslog-ng v4.7.1 focusing on cloud native (containers, helm charts, kubernetes integration), security data tailored parsing and transformation (filterx, app-parser, app-transform, etc, performance (eBPF, memory allocator, etc),
notes
- I was trying to set up grafana alloy to receive syslog messages from PfSense, but due to a bug in the syslog format this didn’t work. I then stumbled on syslog-ng and found the fork AxoSyslog that is completely aimed at cloudnative installs
