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?
If ever getting to administrate non systemd boxes, and in need to deal with the system logging mechanism, then syslog-ng comes close to the most probable mechanism use. And no, non systemd gnu+linux distributions are not legacy, there are quite a few out there, just not the major or mainstream ones, like Artix, Void, Guix, and several others, not to count non gnu+linux OSs like BSDs…
