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 :-()
