Hi, Oops, this is also in OSE but found only in the PE documentation. I put Robert from the documentation team on CC to fix it. Right now you can read the PE documentation: https://www.balabit.com/documents/syslog-ng-pe-7.0-guides/en/syslog-ng-pe-gu... Basically: "syslog-ng-ctl query list" will give you a list of available fields. "syslog-ng-ctl query get '*'" will get all values, "get 'dst.*'" will get you only values where the name starts with "dst."

Where are the query options documented ? Been looking Google, Balabit for an hour. man pages have nothing.

Hi,
If you work with syslog-ng-ctl you can give "jo" ( JSON output: https://github.com/jpmens/jo ) a try. I only did some basic tests, but it seems to me that it can turn the output of "syslog-ng-ctl query" into JSON.

Difficult, the whole problem is naming of the name value pairs.
The idea behind stats is to generate all name value pairs in one message, and this simply does not scale. You are almost certainly interested in a set of values or an aggregate of a set, and not everything.
Just set stats-level() to 3, and look at the stats message.
I am not saying its impossible, just that it requires some thought.

How about an output modifier ?

Hi,
the issue with the internal stats() message is that if you have a lot of counters that message is truncated. Also, it is pretty difficult to parse.
So I would vote for the "poll syslog-ng-ctl and generate messages" solution.
BTW: the internal PE team did something in this area, they created some sort of internal source that does this polling, but I am not sure how that works. Possibly there's documentation :)

Doesn't stats_freq() set an interval to log stats to syslog already?
Description: The period between two STATS messages in seconds. STATS are log messages sent by syslog-ng, containing statistics about dropped log messages. Set to 0to disable the STATS messages.
So internal_src -> format > elasticsearch -> syslog-ng_stats index ?
