Unfortunately, optimizing it is really particular to your setup and what you
are trying to do.  You can use no options and take just defaults or you can
have 15 different ones.  It is difficult to tell what minimum you need
without knowing how your system is configured and what you want it to do.  A
start might be just to use no options and work from there.

Regards,

Drew

To aid in understanding and minimize complexity
I'd like to use the minimum options in syslog-ng.conf
possible.  Different examples I've seen use lots of
different options so I'm not sure which ones are crucial.

What is a good smallest set of vital options for a log
server?

Chris
