[2022] What is new in sudo and syslog-ng - Peter Czanik

FreeBSD is one of the most popular platforms to run syslog-ng. This summer, we expect a major new release of syslog-ng. It will feature data typing, which comes handy if you process logs inside syslog-ng or store logs to Elasticsearch or others. In his talk, Peter will explain the latest syslog-ng featues, and also the very latest advanced sudo features. The two topics are closely related, as many of the new sudo features are logging-related. JSON formatted logs are now available, sub-commands can be logged, and chroot is directly supported within sudo. All of these logs are automagically parsed by syslog-ng, which makes alerting within syslog-ng or storing to NoSQL databases or cloud services easier.
