Dear syslog-ng users,
I am Robert Fekete, the writer of the syslog-ng Administrator Guide (and of the documentation of other BalaBit products as well). First of all, thank you very much for all of you who took the time to send me feedback and corrections about the admin guide.
In the last few days, I have prepared an update for the admin guide that covers the news of the recent syslog-ng 3.0.2 OSE release, and also includes documentation for the pattern database feature. However, it seems that currently Bazsi and the other developers and testers will not have time to review the docs for a few weeks. So if you have some time and would line to test the pattern database, the draft is available at http://people.balabit.hu/frobert/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-admin-en-6ed-draft.pdf
If you find anything that is unclear, not accurate, or otherwise wrong (especially in the config examples), please let me know either here on the list, or via the documentation@balabit.com address.
Among others, the following sections need review: Section 2.12, “Classifying log messages” (p. 15), Section 3.9, “Classifying messages” (p. 61), and Section 8.6.2, “Pattern databases” (p. 201).
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Robert Fekete
I had a very very quick overview of the documentation and I think an illustration is missing on page 15, §2, after "This is also illustrated in the following figure:" (but I may have missed something).
