Fixed bugs in syslog-ng Premium Edition 7.0.1 (4232261)

Released: Tue, 29 Nov 2016

  Initial PE 7.0 release.
  No bugs were fixed in this release.    


  New features:

    Enriching data
    You can use an external database file to append custom name-value pairs to incoming logs, thus extending, enriching, and complementing the data found in log messages. For details, see Chapter 15, Enriching log messages with external data in The syslog-ng Premium Edition 7.0 Administrator Guide.
    You can correlate and aggregate information from log messages using a few simple filters that are similar to SQL GROUPBY statements. You do not even have to configure a pattern database. For details, see Chapter 14, Correlating log messages in The syslog-ng Premium Edition 7.0 Administrator Guide.
    
    Improved configuration flexibility
    You can define configuration objects inline without having to define them in a separate object. Additionally, you can use embedded log statements, junctions and in-line object definitions within source, destination, filter, rewrite and parser definitions. For details, see Section 5.4, Defining configuration objects inline and Section 5.5, Using channels in configuration objects in The syslog-ng Premium Edition 7.0 Administrator Guide.
