  "textContent": "Version 4.11.0 of syslog-ng is now available. The main attraction is the brand new Kafka source, but there are many other smaller features and improvements, as well.\n\n# Before you begin\n\nIf you happen to use Debian, Ubuntu or the RHEL family of operating systems (RHEL, CentOS, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux, Oracle Linux, etc.) then ready-to-use packages are already available as part of the release process. For details, check the README in the syslog-ng source code repository on GitHub: https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-from-binaries The syslog-ng container is also updated to this release: https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-from-binaries\n\nI plan to update Fedora 44 and Rawhide soon, just like openSUSE Tumbleweed. For other distributions, you often need to wait a bit more or use third-party repositories. Our 3rd-party repo page has some pointers: https://www.syslog-ng.com/products/open-source-log-management/3rd-party-binaries.aspx\n\n# What is new?\n\nThe largest new feature is the Kafka source, which allows you to collect log messages from Kafka streams. For many years, syslog-ng had a Kafka destination, allowing you to send log messages to a Kafka-based data pipeline. The Kafka source enables syslog-ng to collect log messages from Kafka, parse and filter log messages, and route them to various destinations. You can learn more about the Kafka source from the syslog-ng documentation at https://syslog-ng.github.io/admin-guide/060_Sources/038_Kafka/README .\n\nSupport for Elasticsearch / OpenSearch data streams was also added: https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/changes-in-the-syslog-ng-elasticsearch-destination\n\n4.11 also includes many other interesting new features and bug fixes, including:\n\n  * OAuth2 support in the cloud-auth module, including gRPC-based destinations\n  * Failover support in the load-balancer\n  * Improved performance and lowered resource usage on macOS\n  * cmake support feature parity with autotools\n\n\n\nFor a complete list of changes, check the release notes on GitHub: https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-4.11.0\n\nAs usual, while we make every effort to make all features work everywhere, it is not always technically possible. For example, compilers and / or dependencies are too old to support gRPC-based modules in older RHEL, SUSE and Debian releases.\n\n# What is next?\n\nAs usual: feedback is very welcome. If you have any problems with the syslog-ng 4.11.0 release, open an issue on GitHub at https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues Your report helps us to make syslog-ng better. Of course, we are also very happy about any positive feedback :-)\n\n#### syslog-ng logo\n\nOriginally published at https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/version-4-11-0-of-syslog-ng-is-now-available",
