* How get I names instead of ips in the logs? With use_dns()? How dangerouse is use of use_dns()?
the way syslog-ng calculates hostnames is as follows:
if (keep_hostname && hostname present) use the hostname in the message else /* ip is the address the message was received from */ if (use_dns) resolve ip and insert that (taking chain_hostnames into account) else insert ip address (taking chain_hostnames into account)
How dangerous is that? Is the full service locked until the timeout occures? Is the ip marked as bad. And when will the "keep_hostname" buffer updated?
* I miss the default values of the options in the docu. What's default for use_dns(), stats(),...?
the docu is somewhat out of date, and missing some parts.
It really out of date!
* When will encryption and authentication come?
in syslog-ng 2
..and when will this released?
