Hi,
nothing of that sounds too bad - except that it sounds a bit extortionate for just some syslogging.
Maybe it is worth trying it if can be built without json at least.
Have tried yesterday for fast checkout if it builds but the compilation quits causing a non existing libfastjson. Also the Rsyslog documentation points json-c as a requirement --> http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/master/installation/install_from_source.html#buil... out, not sure if can get around it . Some of the other listed libs at the bottom might not be a requirement but possibly a nice one to have even the logs should be send to a remote log server. Rsyslog do provides really a lot of extensions which might be worth for a look over...
However, since we are on the topic of logging reliably, it might be interesting to have support for SSL in there.
This should be no problem i think. Rsyslog can be linked against libgcrypt, GnuTLS and OpenSSL. A build is currently running on a openssl-11 basis whereby i think OpenSSL should be preferred ?
Have you tried if the old configuration file works or does it come with a new configuration file format?
The new version 8.32 is in building process will check this if it is ready. On my first tries with Rsyslog which is no also 1+ year ago, i needed to make two changes on syslog.conf --> https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?t=16669#p98481 and after that i renamed it to rsyslog.conf and everything worked just fine.
Best, -Michael

I wouldn't mind changing to rsyslog, but would this be just a drop-in replacement or cause some serious work?
longer time ago i have integrated Rsyslog into IPFire --> https://forum.ipfire .org/viewtopic.php?t=16669 which was not that difficult but there was the need for some new packages. As far as i remember i worked there with
libtasn1 libestr json-c liblogging libfastjson librelp
as a beneath info.
