Hi, For a couple of days now I have been working on the administrator guide for the upcoming syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.2. So far, mostly I have taken the original 3.1 guide apart, and restructured it so that - hopefully - it is easier to use and find relevant information. The structure of the guide is now feature-based, after a brief theoretical introduction about how syslog-ng works and a not-yet-finished quickstart part the chapters focus on the different features, and all information related to a feature is available in the chapter - concepts, configuration, and options reference. Some of the new features of 3.2 are already documented, for example, global variables, the pacct() and system() drivers, and using code blocks. Of course, there are many things to do: the configuration syntax sections are under construction and need cleanup, SCLs and modules should be documented (though some of that will probably go to a developer doc or wiki), and some new features (correlation, patternize, an update on the patterndb project, ...) are missing as well. It is still an early draft, but if you have some time, please take a look and comment on the new structure - any feedback is welcome. The draft is available at http://people.balabit.hu/frobert/syslog-ng-ose-v3.2-guide-admin-en-draft.pdf Regards, Robert
