Syslog-NG (1.9) documentation issues (lots of...)
Referencing the current 2.0 online manual: http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference-2.0/syslog-ng.html/ - Table 3.13 - TZOFFSET: documented as '-0700', is effectively '-07:00'. - DATE: description is missing. Looks like "Jun 13 15:58:00". - FULLDATE: -"-. Looks like "2006 Jun 13 15:56:57". - ISODATE: -"-. Looks like "2006-06-13T15:56:51+02:00". - UNIXTIME: -"-. Standard UNIX timestamp. - FULLHOST, HOST_FROM, FULLHOST_FROM, SOURCEIP: -"- - 3.2: - fsync(), timezone() and ts_format() are undocumented (obviously, the ts_format() part just needs to be copied from 3.5) - 3.2.2.5 usertty(): - documented to support template(), but... ...this works (of course it does): destination d_admintty { usertty("root"); }; ...this makes 'syslog-ng -s' complain about a syntax error: destination d_admintty { usertty("root" template(t_admintty)); }; - 3.5 Options: - sync() and sync_freq() are marked as obsolete with flush_lines() as the successor, unfortunately flush_lines() itself is not documented in 3.5 (only in 3.2 with a reference to the global default which is just not present). - flush_timeout() is not documented in 3.5 (only in 3.2, just like flush_lines()) Yet more to come (no time right now :-() -- Regards, Wolfram Schlich <wschlich@gentoo.org> Gentoo Linux * http://dev.gentoo.org/~wschlich/

Great :-) I'll report whenever I stumble over any gap between docs and reality ;-) Syslog-NG 1.9 is really great, the only small downer is the documentation. As the product itself is that cool, I enjoy helping to clean this out. Hope you had a nice vacation btw. ;-) -- Regards, Wolfram Schlich <wschlich@gentoo.org> Gentoo Linux * http://dev.gentoo.org/~wschlich/

Thanks. I have committed a patch to the documentation yesterday, which should have been uploaded to the website by now. I supposedly fixed all the points you raised.
Hope you had a nice vacation btw. ;-)
Yes, thanks. I'm getting married this weekend, and I'm on holiday because of the preparations. -- Bazsi

Unfortunately I cannot confirm this when looking at http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference-2.0/syslog-ng.html/index... Maybe it just needs some more time...

You are still on holiday *and* working? Shame on you! ;-) I wish you a wonderful marriage, hopefully an everlasting one :o) -- Regards, Wolfram Schlich <wschlich@gentoo.org> Gentoo Linux * http://dev.gentoo.org/~wschlich/

Congratulations, I wish you guys all the best! Hopefully the weather remains beautiful in Budapest.
