I’m trying to find a higher paying job and I came across one for a “Syslog-ng Admin/Engineer.” The pay seems promising and the requirements aren’t that long but does ask for experience in syslog-ng. I’ve never heard of this before today. What is syslog-ng and what can I do to get experience with it?

    generally replaced by systemd’s journald service

    Basically this, and quite a long time ago. Anything even remotely modern (and by that I mean like, the last decade or so) is either using systemd, or in the case of debuntu, rsyslog.

    Wonder what kind of funky environment is using syslog-ng, and to what scale so that there’s literally a ‘syslog-ng engineer’ job posting.

      It’ll either be military or industrial… neither want to replace “perfectly operational“ tech for ~10 years.

      Asking the real questions.
