------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.0.1 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Jan 12, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new major version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.0 has been released. The news and highlights of this version are summarized below. CHANGES: 3.0.1 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 12:16:08 +0100 NEWS: Communication: * Version 3.0 of syslog-ng supports the new syslog protocol standards developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The details of these protocols can be found at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-23.txt and http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-syslog-transport-tls-11.txt. * The capability to encrypt log connections using TLS has been added. Configuration: * Log statements can be embedded into each other, making it possible to design complex log paths. That way for example the results of a filter can be sent to multiple destinations, or it can be sent to a destination unchanged, and partly rewritten for the other destination. Log files: * The encoding of source files can be set for proper character conversion (internally syslog-ng represents every message in UTF-8). Log messages: * The syslog-ng application assigns a unique message identification number to every log message, making it easy to detect if any messages are lost. * The syslog-ng application can read, process, and rewrite structured messages (e.g., Apache webserver logs) using templates and regular expressions. Both messages with fixed field sizes and fields separated with delimiters (e.g., comma-separated values) are supported.
