Hi, I'm new to syslog-ng. please forgive. Can someone please... explain these: processed='center(queued)=2836986327', dropped='dst.udp(sopher2udp#0,udp,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:514)=104396', processed='dst.udp(sopher2udp#0,udp,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:514)=1395253254', stored='dst.udp(sopher2udp#0,udp,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:514)=0', and what needs tweaking?
