Hello,
From what i read in the reference manual, there is a fixed number of available source drivers (internal, file, tcp, etc) in syslog-ng. I would like to develope a new kind of driver (communication method) to collect messages from clients. Is syslog-ng customizable enough to accomplish something like that relatively easy? :)
I am a newbie in this mailing list so please forgive me if my question sounds too naive.
It is possible, but you need to change the actual sources of syslog-ng, as there's no plugin mechanism. The internals of syslog-ng is quite moduralized, but modules cannot be loaded at runtime. -- Bazsi
