Syslog-ng for DevOps: Customized Logging with Python
summary
Shows how to use syslog-ng’s new Python bindings to collect, filter and forward logs by embedding Python code as sources, parsers or destinations in syslog-ng configurations. Covers storing code inline or in external files, the trade-offs of Python vs native C (ease of extension and no extra setup versus lower speed), and how to build from quick proof‑of‑concept handlers to more robust initialisation and connection-managed integrations with local and cloud services.
