[syslog-ng] syslog-ng-3.24.1

[Laszlo Budai]

3.24.1
Highlights

  *   Add a new template function called $(format-flat-json), which generates
flattened json output. This is useful for destinations, where the json
parsing does not handle nested json format. (#2890<https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/2890>)
  *   Add ISO 8601 compliant week numbering. Use it with the ${ISOWEEK} macro
and and all its variants: S_ISOWEEK, R_ISOWEEK and C_ISOWEEK. (#2878<https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/2878>)
  *   Add add-contextual-data() glob selector. It matches the message with shell
style globbing. Enable it by setting selector(glob("$my_template") in the
add-contextual-data() block. (#2936<https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/2936>)
  *   Add new rewrite operations to manipulate the timezone portion of timestamps have
been added. set-timezone() to set the timezone value to a specific value,
fix-timezone() to fix up an incorrectly recognized timezone and guess-timezone()
to automatically deduce the timezone value on the assumption that the message
is received in near real time. (#2818<https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/2818>)
  *   Send Server Name Identification (SNI) information with transport(tls).
Enable it by setting the sni(yes) option in the tls block in your
destination. (#2930<https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/2930>)
