Log level of that message is changed to verbose 20 moth ago

   if (res)
   {
   socket_options_setup_peer_socket(self->socket_options, new_fd, peer_addr);

   msg_verbose("Syslog connection accepted",
   evt_tag_int("fd", new_fd),
   evt_tag_str("client", g_sockaddr_format(peer_addr, buf1, sizeof(buf1), GSA_FULL)),
   evt_tag_str("local", g_sockaddr_format(self->bind_addr, buf2, sizeof(buf2), GSA_FULL)));
   }

using that level must show you the message.

I'm not sure when this stopped but version 4.11.0 is not logging the lines of

Syslog connection accepted; fd='1686', client='AF_INET(1.2.3.4:53538)', local='AF_INET(5.6.7.8:601)'

I am unable to find a setting that might enable this.

The logs contain many other "internal" log messages.

syslog-ng starting up; version='4.11.0'

Syslog connection established; fd='29', server='AF_INET(127.0.0.1:1514)', local='AF_INET(5.6.7.8:0)'

Accepting connections; listen_fd='13', addr='AF_INET(5.6.7.8:601)'
Loading the new configuration;

Configuration reload finished;

My system running version syslog-ng-4.6.0 logs the "connection accepted" for all new connections.

Any help to enable the "connection accepted" log lines would be awesome.
