Hi All,

I just published a blog about how to get started using syslog-ng together with Elasticsearch 5.0. My examples are for RHEL / CentOS 7. Let me know if you are interested in other Linux distributions!  
It's available at [https://www.balabit.com/blog/syslog-ng-and-elasticsearch-5-getting-started-on-rhelcentos/](https://www.balabit.com/blog/syslog-ng-and-elasticsearch-5-getting-started-on-rhelcentos/)
