------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear syslog-ng Premium Edition Users,
A new feature version of the syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE) has been
released.
The main new features of syslog-ng Premium Edition 4 F1 (4.1.1) are
briefly summarized below:
Improved performance, over 500000 messages/second
* The syslog-ng PE 4 F1 application can be run in multithreaded mode
to scale to multiple CPUs or cores for increased performance.
Depending on its configuration and other parameters, it can process
over 150000 messages/second when receiving messages from a single
connection and storing them in logstore or text files, or over
500000 messages/second when receiving messages from multiple
connections and storing them in logstore or text files.
Sending SNMP traps
* The syslog-ng PE 4 F1 application can send SNMP traps using the
Simple Network Management Protocol version 2c or version 3.
Converting the syslog messages sent by Cisco devices to
Cisco-specific SNMP traps defined by the CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB is also
supported.
Message correlation and triggers
* The syslog-ng PE 4 F1 application can correlate the messages
identified using pattern databases and use all the information of
the correlated messages, for example, to collect all important
information about an event into a single log message.
* The syslog-ng PE 4 F1 application is able to generate (trigger)
messages automatically if certain events occur, for example, a
specific log message is received, or the correlation timeout of a
message expires.
