Install syslog-ng, is it possible?

[empr]

Hi,

I have a setup of 4 proxmox in cluster, everything is working as expected.
The only problem is that as syslog solution, we use syslog-ng (and not rsyslog).
If I want to install syslog-ng it says that for dependencies, it needs to remove pve-cluster, pve-manager, etc.

I saw some posts saying that accepting the changes and re-installing all the pve packages should work. But, since I have a cluster, I'm not sure if the whole thing will break.

Any ideas?

thanks!

Why do you need a specific syslog (syslog-ng)?

I use a syslog server based on syslog-ng, and all the other servers are configured with syslog-ng to send the logs there, using several rules.

AFAIK you can also do that with rsyslog.

We had bad experiences with rsyslog, and the idea is to keep using syslog-ng (just like the rest of the servers).

So, I understand that it's not possible to remove rsyslog and install syslog-ng, correct?

thanks!
