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.
