<br>> Hi,
<br>>
<br>> I am currently working on updating the 3.4 adminguide, and releasing
<br>> updated  drafts every few days. The current version already has two
<br>> short sections about  junctions and channels (and a bunch of smaller
<br>> updates as well).
<br>
<br>yay, this is great news. glad you could make it.
<br>
<br>some notes below:
<br>
<br>>
<br>> <a href="http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-3.4-guides/syslog-ng-ose-v3.4-guide-admin-en/html/junctions.html">http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-3.4-guides/syslog-ng-ose-v3.4-guide-admin-en/html/junctions.html</a>
<br>>
<br>
<br>* junctions can use flags(final) in order to avoid processing the rest of the channels if one matches
<br>* it might make sense to emphatize that if multiple channels process the message, multiple outputs will be generated.
<br>* another use case: with junctions, channels and inline drivers, you can associate processing with the source driver, so it automatically emits well formed messages.
<br>

<br>>
<br>
<br>ah, I can see that this discusses the use case I was talking about. A referral might help between the two chapters.
<br>
<br>a bit more step by step tutorial would be useful, junctions are a complex concept.
<br>
<br>> Any feedback, comment, clarification request, or real-life use-case is
<br>> most welcome.
<br>>
<br>> I hope to release more stuff on Friday, and also to write a list of the
<br>> new  features that are already documented.
<br>>
<br>> Kind Regards,
<br>>
<br>> Robert
