I’m discovering that syslog(-ng) has actually been replaced by systemd-journal, yet it still writes out log messages to /var/log/messages as syslog did for compatibility.
As we are starting to use splunk this will work for us. But I was wondering if SUSE is planning on changing this in the future ? They seem to like to change things without warning.
Another question I have: is it possible to modify or customize a log entries for logins so they are easily recognizable and perhaps add additional information like where a user logged in from (ip, hostname,etc…)
Thanks

I can’t give an official answer (you’d have to ask SUSE directly) but I
wouldn’t expect them to change this without warning and certainly not
within the same product release (i.e. SLES12). Instead if it was going
to change with a future release it would probably start as a Technical
Preview in a beta for that future release.

This I don’t know though I suspect given we’re talking about Linux it’s
probably possible.
HTH.
